May the odds be ever in your favor!! |
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. |
Nah, just post on DCUM about how the school is a "scam". LOL. |
Same. |
Well, you likely won’t have anything to worry about! |
Let’s see, $100k for four years at UMD or one year at a top school. Hmmm… |
We’ll see. He got into a few 5% acceptance rate schools already. |
It’s great how folks are being more practical-no secret how everyone knows the smartest kids with the greatest degree of merit are all located in Honors colleges of flagship state schools. Ivys all a DEI/legacy gamed admit these days!! |

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. |
