Which one should I choose? UMich or WUSTL

<p>

from the information Michigan sent me, the tuition is actually $41000, which is higher than the $39000 from WUSTL. But considering the fact that Michigan offered me a ten-month-study plan, and WUSTL only has 9 month, so we might estimate the cost difference is $1000, which WUSTL>UMich

You are not reading the information correctly. </p>

<p>Michigan’s normal academic year (2 semesters) is 8 months [Sep 4-Apr 30]. WUSTL’s normal academic year (2 semesters) is almost 9 months [Aug 26-May 20], but that is because it has a month-long winter break.</p>

<p>I presume Michigan’s 10-month plan includes two regular semesters plus a summer term. Thus you are comparing apples to oranges.</p>

<p>Michigan has already published its estimated 2010-2011 tuitions. For Fall/Winter 2010-2011 (Sep-Apr), your tuition/fees is about $34,937. I can’t find WUSTL’s 2010-2011 tuition rate.</p>

<p>WUSTL is $27,000 more expensive than Michigan over 4 years.</p>
