That seems like a great example of something that can get really real. Like, Georgia Tech is awesome for Mechanical Engineering. Are you REALLY going to pay more for Cornell?
I of course have no idea if my S24 will get that good of a choice, but I can see there being something like that in the end.
That’s a great idea to discuss! The general grad school conversation has been complicated, but until you mentioned it, I had not really thought about grad school room and board being qualified. It is definitely going on the talking points memo.
Law school is never truly off the table–mwahahahaha! (that’s a sinister laugh for people who don’t know)
And although I was sort of talking about it in a frivolous way, I don’t really think that at all. Like, sure, sometimes maybe a school just wants some good numbers, but I actually think in many cases there is at least some serious thought on their end about how they have seen kids like that thrive before, becoming important members of their college community. And that is no small thing, to have the college think that is a strong possibility for you. Not binding, but definitely worth reflecting on.
