USC vs. UChicago vs. OSU vs. BostonU vs. Dartmouth vs. 15 other colleges/universities

<p>I hesitate to recommend that a person spend $80,000 more for Dartmouth or Amherst over Miami in this economic environment…</p>

<p>My choice would be either Dartmouth or Amherst… are you able to apply for financial aid at this late date (sorry I know zero about FA), or if not, for next year and the following two? If so, I’d recommend Dartmouth/Amherst equallly, and Miami if not.</p>
