If you don't like the outcome, stage a rebellion, and march on the capital, and overthrow the elites, lol.

Now wishing my kid didn’t apply.

$38k for UVA vs $90k for most of them is tough nut.

Let’s see, $100k for four years at UMD or one year at a top school. Hmmm…

Your kid may surprise you-- I know a kid who turned down full pay at Harvard for a full ride at UVA. Recently graduated UVA and has no regrets.

How is this helpful? Very few full rides at UVA, it sounds like the PP knows that and is planning on the 38k/year

Make whatever choice makes you and your kid happy...but you have stop trying to justify it with reasoning like this. Know plenty of the "smartest" kids turning down honors colleges to attend Ivy schools, MIT, Stanford, etc.

Also, the whole "Honors colleges" thing is drastically overblown in its own right. I know kids at state schools turning down Honors colleges or not even bothering because the benefits aren't all the exciting (and often it comes with more work).

Mine is at Ivy for less than UMD cost. Great FA for middle class

That's some serious sour grapes and wishful thinking there.

Serious question, when in your adult life and career has anyone ever asked you if you attended an honors college? I hope students are having good experiences in these programs, but people will form their impressions of their education based on the overall reputation of the school.
