School COAs (scholarships)

Wake Forest = 115k (18k/yr)
Case = 75k (35k/yr)
Pitt = 80k (20k/yr)

So those are my options after getting a few emails in the past day. Please discuss the schools and the pros and cons of each. Insight from current students is most appreciated. Thanks!

What do you want to do?

Where do you want to work?

Where are you from?

Are you paying this all by yourself?

Where do you want to live and work?

I'm a Wake student so I am probably biased, but obviously Wake is ranked higher and to me has a better name than Case and Pitt... but if your ultimate goal is to work in PA, maybe Pitt is the better choice. Wake clearly beats both Pitt and Case in employment #'s. I haven't looked at it in-depth but you should probably see how different the employment stats are in the schools. Is that worth an extra $35k - $40k? It would be to me, but I love North Carolina. It kind of just depends on your goals.

Cost of living is cheaper in Winston-Salem and the school is ranked higher.
