The school that gave her the awesome financial aid package has a higher acceptance rate. Plus also has things like a marching band. My kid was in marching band for 3 years plus has a great LCSW program which kiddo wants to study. However, for financial reasons her getting the financial package she received is pretty much unheard of.

The school that turned her down is not Yale but one tear down in the "class" of colleges. It has lower acceptance rate but has tons of money to give for financial aid. However, they do not have a marching band and she could only get a bachelors degree in psychology and then switch to another college for her masters degree.
