[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t tell your kid they can go anywhere unless you are wealthy. That is stupid. Be forthright about what the budget is.  We are actually wealthy Virginia residents and we told our kids it’s in state unless you get into HYPMS. The middling private schools are a huge waste of money imho. Higher ed is one big festering scam.  Best to not lose your shirt over it. [/quote]

So you would say no to Wharton or Hopkins or Carnegie Mellon or Williams? [/quote]

Wharton is a different story. There is an obvious VALUE PROPOSITION there. I was referring to undergrad - the math is different for a final degree. Would I waste the extra money to send a kid to Williams over UVA undergrad? Not in a million years. Particularly since employers much prefer a state flagship over delicate snowflake U. [/quote]

You can go to Wharton undergrad and there are very few employers who would cross off a Williams applicant (maybe Liberty media) [/quote]
