Thank you for your input. If my discussion with an FA officer at Case next week doesn’t yield more money, I think I might go with Pitt.

After looking at the ND numbers again, I realized that I forgot to add on personal expenses and fees (which are not accounted for in the aid letter). Bearing that in mind, the ND cost comes to about 12k (before loans), which is decent considering that ND costs 53k to attend. I don’t know the results for outside scholarship awards, so I’m not going to base my decision off of the mere possibility of receiving any. Pitt costs about 7k (before loans), so I’m about 95% sure that’s where I will enroll (unless I figure out a way to come up with the 5k difference). Plus, Pitt seems to offer more than ND because of its location, and I would probably fit in at Pitt as opposed to ND.
