[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]I’d lean harder toward taking out PLUS loans [/b]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]

I wouldn’t do this for any degree from any school, and wouldn’t advise OP to either. [/quote]
