No, went on from Delaware to a top5 law school. My kids wish they had Ivy legacy status but my life has been great! |

| this was 30 years ago and as first generation California resident, goal was to go to either UCLA or UC Berkeley for undergrad. Got into both and went to UCLA. Then went to GATech for Ph.D. in chemical engineering. I am trying to convince my kids to go to private schools which are smaller and easier to survive. 30 years ago at UCLA, lots of students could not get past freshmen chemistry and physics. |

| Cornell -- American. No regrets. My parents couldn't pay and I am glad I don't have massive debt from undergrad. I had a full ride to AU and was able to study abroad. |
