[quote=Anonymous]Lesson for anxiety-ridden, status-obsessed parents: Apply ED. It gives your kid an advantage because it telegraphs to the school your willingness to pay full price. Lesson for normal parents: Never let your kid apply ED to any school. Refuse to pay more than about $30-35K/year for college. That means you should never apply to an out-of-state public university, or to a top 30 private college or private university. Lower ranked private schools provide a perfectly defective education -- just as the supposedly elite schools do. So why pay twice as much for something that's equally defective? Go where the discounts are. (These discounts are euphemistically called "merit scholarships.") Anyone who is paying more than $35K/year for tuition, room, and board, is simply subsidizing someone else's kid.[/quote]
