<p>follow the money
I had a 3 way tie between Chicago, NU and a Merit Tuition Scholarship at Emory. I chose Chicago in the end because for some reason it gave a comparable amount of money as the merit scholarship (Like only 500$ more per year to go there). worried about what happens if oddysey doesnt fall through though. But yeah 10k per year is alot of money so I think stanford is the way to go</p>
