<p>thanks for your response.
i see now where you were coming from. sorry.
my s has applied to duke (huge reach), unc (a legacy that could help oos), vandy, emory (dad on medical faculty so a huge bargain), uga (also free with the hope scholarship) tulane (who offered him their 24 k a year and the honors program).
i loved vandy, but the price tag difference can’t be ignored.
time will tell. first the schools will make their decisions. then my s will have to decide.
thanks again</p>
