As a parent, I think you should sit down with your folks and discuss the economics. My son had great scholarships at two schools that would have cut the cost in half for us. But it was my feeling, supported by my wife, that we could afford Rice and that if he chose Rice we would be proud to support him financially in that decision.

Your parents probably feel the same way, but economics may be a real concern. They will respect you if you discuss this with them, and let them know that that it is one of the major factors in your decision tree, and you want their input.

Good luck and congratulations on two wonderful schools (we are also from NY).
