Tier 1 School Students vs Less Prestigious School Students

<p>happymom- I disagree with you here. OP is trying to research his/her choice of places where he can apply. Why is it needed to spend money and time to fill applications only to later find out that the school doesn’t fit your requirement? One can not apply to all the places and then start researching after getting selected. Please do not discourage asking question. Many beginners have similar questions. </p>

<p>And OP did not raise the question of dollar. It is safe not to guess if he/she can afford the school of his choice. My mom told it is not polite to doubt someone’s financial ability.</p>
