<p>Many thanks for the advice, everyone. I think that it is going to come down to Vanderbilt or Johns Hopkins. After doing the final financial aid calculations, Vandy will cost me 8k a year before books/out-of-pocket expenses, and Hopkins will cost 28K a year. Essentially, the difference will be $80k over four years. I don’t know what to do, I’m losing sleep over this :(</p>
