We are in the exact same boat. I couldn’t foot the bill to go back to both MICA and Saic (from California) , and since Chicago gave her $80 over four years, we are going there to revisit first… If I had $250,000 in my college savings acct. then none of this would matter. I talked to the Mica rep last week and I got a really good feeling from him about the interdisciplinary approach. We visited in January, and the school was so quiet (class in session), it was hard to get a feeling for the vibe. Did the campus feel more vibrant today?

Yes, Mica gave my daughter $50,000 over four years. I guess I didn’t think about it as an “early action” scholarship…although I should have. Did you get any idea from the gathering today what to expect in the envelope this week? I don’t want to get our hopes up, but my goal is to bury our girl in as little debt as possible! Best of luck to you both, let touch base after the big decision comes down. Did you look at SAIC? What was your impression?
