[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, did your dc do Econ at Duke. My dc has got in but it's ridiculously expensive. [/quote]

If the alternative would be UMd. or UVA at in-state rates, you’re somewhat broke, your DC is very bright but not a miserably lonely child prodigy, and your DC could handle some bureaucracy, the state flagship would obviously be a better deal.

If you’re a little stingy but rich, your DC has never met an equally bright kid, your DC would get depressed at a giant school, and the best public school that let your DC in is on par with JMU, I’d lean harder toward taking out PLUS loans and saying yes to Duke.

Duke is a wonderful place. It is probably at least a T10 school. In the long run, a degree from there would probably pay for itself. A student who’s a good fit for Duke would have a wonderful time and priceless experiences.

But the good economics classes at UVa and UMd. would be at a great level, too, and a lot of students have a wonderful time there. Bankrupting yourself to send a typical bright DC to Duke instead of UMd or UVA would not make a lot of sense. [/quote]
