He really loved Hopkins initially, but both Maryland and Harvard have come on strong. We visited the financial aid folks at Hopkins yesterday, and they very much had a “take it or leave it” attitude about the financial package offered. He's not getting warm and fuzzies. Hopkins, right now, is pretty much on life-support.
I think he'd be happy at any of the three. We're visiting Harvard next Friday. I want him to get at least a very little bit of a sense of the place before making a final pick.

Sounds like Hopkins is really out of the picture.
So between Maryland and Harvard, it’s a no brainer. Look, Maryland might be a good school and all, but it’s not Harvard. At Harvard, his classmates will be future Senators, CEOs, and Supreme Court Justices. At Maryland, his classmates will be future middle managers.
It’s an absolute no brainer. Harvard. Yes, it costs some money, but this is why you saved.
