Ivy VS. Honors College at state school?

Chance Me / Match Me

Which do you get a better education at?
And which would I have a better chance of getting in at?
And what do you do if you have been slightly inconsistent (due to transferring schools) with extracurriculars involvement at school?

If a dramatic family/natural disaster occurred during your high school career that affected your grades, do colleges take that into account? Serious stuff like house destroyed in earthquake, father died in military service, etc.

What’s your EFC and, if different, parents ’ budget?
You’re in at Mizzou Honors; do apply to Truman State too.
Have you run the NPC on the others?

My grandparents gave me ~70-80k for higher education. But my parents income would put me very close to the cutoff line for "if accepted, parents pay none " at Princeton .

I did get accepted to Mizzou honors. Truman dose not have a good agricultural /food science program.
I don’t have all my parents money info to run NPC.

I’m just wondering if I would have a good enough extra curriculars to be considered at prestigious .

Thank you.

Look at Cfans at UMinnesota Twin Cities, it’s a very very good program if you can still apply for Honors and scholarships there.
Cornell has a superb Food Science program.
Another university with such a program is McGill in Canada.

Ask your parents’ info and run the NPC for all colleges on your list.

Try and find the job placement rates for the honors colleges (might be a little hard and require you contacting them) as well as the ivies. You can also go ok LinkedIn and look at where graduates are employed and see what kind of people went there.
