<p>Great story. I wish moe people understood that private universities often provide excellent financial aid. S1 and S2 got much better financial aid packages from their private universities than they were able to get from the publics to which they applied.</p>
<p>Note to Cheers, I would not single out Cornell for seeing Step’s potential. Clearly all of the schools that accepted Step saw the potential and Northwestern, Case, CSU and U of R were able to finance that potential beyond what CMU, RPI and RIT could.</p>
