If you are offered scholarship/financial aid to study in a non-T14 school (let's say T20), and admission without aid by a T10 school, which would you choose?

As an international student, location is not an important factor, as long as it is in the US. Any thoughts?

I’d say the money. LLMs do not add that much value to your career. If a scholarship brings them closer to the payoff point, do it.
