I'm looking for any helpful advice to aid me in my college decision...I have been accepted into the University of Washington Honors Program with a full tuition scholarship. I have also been accepted into my dream school, UChicago, but with no merit money (at least I think I did not receive any merit aid because it didn't say so in my acceptance letter). UChicago is the perfect fit for me in terms of the type of education I am looking for, but it is SO EXPENSIVE! I do not know if paying 60k a year for UChicago is worth it to further my education. I am planning to major in biology and go on to graduate school.
Now, before everyone says that I should go to UW because it is cheaper, please know that I received my scholarship through the honors program, meaning that I have to stay in the honors program to keep my scholarship, and also that I will enter college with approximately 90 credits from ap classes. Therefore, the honors program would probably be a huge waste of time for someone like me, and I am not sure if I will stay in the honors program and receive the scholarship all four years when I could potentially graduate in two without the honors requirements. Well, that was just a tangent :). Again, any helpful advice is appreciated!
