OP humble bragging about 150k not being too bad for his fam would make a perfect UVA frat bro.

 

so many other schools are better than uva for IB bro... This is an easy google search or a quick look another thread.

 

what if the difference was closer to ~30k that would have to be financed through loans on top off another 30k of loans? (in a similar situation).

 

To an extent it depends on how much the money matters to you/your family and what your career goals are, but at that cost it would be worth considering Penn, Dartmouth, UChicago, Duke

 

It really depends on how much 150k is to your family. If it's like you said and its "nothing" then I would say the list of schools worth the 150k investment would be: Ivies Uchicago Stanford Duke Gtown MIT Maybe Amherst/Williams
