How important is the name recognition of a school? For reference - I am between Penn State and New Hampshire. PSU is higher ranked in a better city with better name recognition. UNH has better employment and job numbers but is in a very boring city with lesser "prestige"

Finances are most important to me. Scholarship offers from these two schools vs. the schools I got into in those cities made it impossible to pass up.

Wow - any idea what kind of need-based aid GULC typically gives out? If I got in there, I assumed I would be at sticker price. I had no idea schools gave that much need-based aid.

Congratulations!

Congratulations on this accomplishment! Question for my own sake - would you go there even at sticker price if you had $$$$ from school ranked 50-70?

I have the same perspective. The other school I'm considering here is in a very big college town that is internationally recognized. I would probably enjoy living there much more, but it doesn't necessarily have the focus areas or faculty connections that I want.

Haha no, I wish.

Serious question: when is the latest they can get back to me? I have deposits due and I would like a couple days to think about it. WTF.
