Merit Scholarships from Brandeis?

<p>All these posts about the great kids who did not get any merit aid this year at Brandeis is actually making me feel better. Brandeis was both my D’s and my first choice, and her stats were out of the charts: perfect 2400, 104. something GPA, ECs, sports, independent research, you name it. She got in, but no merit aid. Got full scolarship to Boston University, though. So, now I am emotionally torn between spending a trackload of money and letting her go to Brandeis or being able to pay later for the Grad school, where she will most definitely go, </p>

<p>Any comments on comparing one BU to another BU? (Boston U vs Brandeis U)</p>

<p>BTW, as I think all who posted here by now know, appealing the scholarship decision did not help any.</p>
