@TytoAlba :

We would be tremendously happy for our DD to choose either St. Olaf or Carleton – you should be, too. So your costs might be your primary consideration.

Our daughter plans to major in Bio, Chem. or to double major, with an eye to med school. Both schools offer great sciences. She simply felt more at home at Carleton, and its students seemed a better and more collaborative fit for her. Also, she had the benefit of attending Carleton’s 3-week Summer Science institute during July/August. Although she seriously considered several colleges “Out East” as well, her heart kept bringing her back to Carleton.

With the need-based aid we received from Carleton, our costs next year for Carleton will be 60% more than our merit-based cost for St. Olaf. Hey – she’s our princess!!
