[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say you are full pay, have a HHI in the 300s, have 250K in your child's 529, and your child does not have specific pre-professional goals-  what do you weigh, and what guidance do you give, in determining whether your kid should choose a top school vs in state / lower ranked school with merit? I grew up in that boat - we were full pay but not made of money- and I ended up at UVA oos - mostly because it was not as $$ as Wake Forest (my other top pick), but otherwise similar enough. I'm still getting a feel for the changed landscape, since my oldest child is only in 9th grade.

For example, [b]adjusted for inflation, my 14,800 UVA tuition would be 26,000 today. Even Wake's tuition would only be 38,000.  However, oos tuition at UVA is now 55,900. I feel like that changes the calculus a lot from when I was in high school [/b](not to mention the more-competitive and less numbes-based seeming admissions landscape).  [/quote]

It changes the calculus altogether.[/quote]
