A valid point that I’ve been trying to get across to my parents. Rice also offers merit-based scholarships like NM while HYP don’t.

I think my parents care more about a big name to brag to people about than the actual school itself. After visiting colleges last year, it broke their heart that I liked Yale better than Harvard. My mother would sell her soul to pay to send me to Harvard.
