Olderwisemom, I also got a good amount of money from CAFNR there (which is what I applied to), I meant tuition almost is free. Jeez though, the point was I wouldn’t be paying much to go to Mizzou, god…anyway, I want to probably go into either Chem or Econ, in which case UMich has a stronger reputation (much moreso in Econ) plus through LSA I’m able to better take classes in both and have much more flexibility with majors, whereas at Mizzou I couldn’t be as liquid there with my choice of major. Trust me, I’ve done my homework while applying to UMich, this is NOT just a matter of “I like the campus”.

Anyway, my dad most definitely runs my house financially. For sure. My mom doesn’t do anything with our family finances. I know that my parents want me to go to UNC if I get in (over Duke even) because it’s pretty cheap (for OOS) and is a good school so I’m pretty sure they’re okay with that one financially (and probably with Duke too). But I highly doubt I’m going to get into either.
