Why not apply to both?
 
  • #3
The only reason not to apply at both is if finances do not permit you to apply to both (on top of what other schools you might apply to)
 
  • #4
If your finances do not permit you applying to both, how are you going to afford attending either of these very expensive, private institutions?
