What you would or would not have paid at your dream school is irrelevant and must be erased from your mind. For all you know you made a calculation error on the website.

Okay, I think you could go to any of the three. What is the difference between what you will pay out of pocket at Tufts & at NYU? How much would you have to go into debt at each?

Then consider which school has the environment you most want-- socially, academically. Which one wold you choose if money was no object? Is it far and away the best choice or is a cheaper altenative nearly as appealing?

All three are near one another-- visit if you need to.

Finally, see if Tufts can increase your aid. Might level the playing field.
