[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think any parent considering a Big 3 (especially at the K level) needs to ask themselves...will I be OK or furious when my little Jimmy ends up at the University of Maryland.

If they are OK, then go ahead and spend the $$$s....if furious, they need to take a step back and realize that UMD (or the equivalent) is their more likely outcome...especially if you are not legacy at a top school and don't think your kid will be some great athlete.

Obviously, if you are rich and the tuition is just a rounding error..then who cares either way.[/quote]

OP here. Agree with the above. More or less. EA/Ed round was essentially URM/Athlete and big donors. RD (which proved to be redemptive last year) has been weak (at best) this year. Lots of heartbreak.[/quote]

Where are top kids ending up? I'm a Big3 parent.  I know that 95% of the ED admits at our school were URM or athletes. But where are the strong students who are getting less than ideal options ending up? [/quote]
