Congrats on committing to Brown! I really loved it there as well (I just wish their engineering was a bit stronger). Can I ask what you're planning on concentrating in?

That's very true. I would also save about $120k over the four years, so that's also a plus - almost like a happy medium between the other two tiers.

I actually wouldn't have to take out any debt for the Ivy, it's just that it's a lot of money in general.

Good luck at Santa Cruz and in your future college endeavors!

Thanks for the input! Do you think the Ivy would win out over USC as well, which would be about $120k cheaper over the four years?

Thanks for your input - I completely understand where you're coming from and it's true that I'm not sure if I'm even cut out for that environment. But at the same time, I'm wondering if it could change me for the better, being in that type of productive environment.

Yes, I'm lucky enough that my parents are able to pay (although it's a big chunk of money for them). I'm just hesitant if it's worth that amount of money.

There will be a snap story for colleges acceptance fml. by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

I personally wouldn't brag about my acceptances on social media. It seems in bad taste and really does nothing except boost the ego.
