<p>I think this is definitely a challenge. We, too, will likely be in this spot next year. How does one compare sometimes generous NMF offers against prestigious schools that offer no merit at all??? Who knows if my ds would be accepted to any elitist schools, but if he were, how does one compare upwards of $50,000 per year to nearly free?? Particularly if one can afford the more expensive option. How does one factor in cost if cost doesn’t have to be a factor?</p>
<p>I will be watching this thread with interest.</p>
