Brown is an Ivy. |
If a student goes to CMU and does not graduate that is on them they were not prepared. I had two go there. And others of mine went to other schools all basically same majors. One of which was MIT. It is not the schools fault your student did not graduate. |
They didn’t turn down an Ivy. They chose one Ivy over 3 other Ivies. |
More typically $350k vs. $120k. |
my kid was going to turn down ivy.. but did't get accepted.. not sure if it counts |
you live in a state that's cheaper than mine! but these are people who also buy pricey houses and nice cars. really, the 200k over 4 years is not the end all when you're an empty nester making 250k and salary is still rising |
Friend’s kid turning down Yale and Penn for Duke, but all similar prestige that came down to fit. |
Turning down Yale for Stanford. |
Yale for USC
Cornell for USC Ivies for Georgetown (full ride) |
I get the USC thing. Weather+girls, I mean, come on. |
we all get the duke and Stanford thing too.
I think a lot of media is getting traction on clickbait headlines leading people to believe that kids across the land are turning down Harvard for Alabama, and that's not often the case. sure, 1 out of 100. but 99 are still picking Harvard. |
Brown for Northwestern |
+1 (and our eldest will be graduating from CMU in just over a week from now) |
Great party school! |
There are girls everywhere, no??? Are you saying they are bikini clad at the university?? |
