[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]we're a full pay family who is looking for alternatives to my kids dream schools of Harvard, Yale, Georgetown.

boy, high stats, national awards, humanities major.

I guess we'd have a hard time turning down Harvard, etc.  But I'd like to skip over the rest of the T20 schools.  I'm not sure Georgetown is worth it, but I guess for the SFS.  But places like Tufts, BC at 90k makes no sense to me.

Can someone think of some schools with merit aid that might work. In NYS. Binghamton doesn't make his eyes light up, which I get.  Doesn't want a SLAC[/b]

omg, you are new to the world of college admissions aren't you?  Your white privilege is showing.  Your kid will be LUCKY to get into a T100.  Every single applicant is as, you described "boy, high stats, national awards, humanities major".  well, that was my kid but with a 36 ACT, valedictorian, eagle scout, etc.  SCEA Princeton deferred/waitlisted; all ivies, waitlisted; public EA: purdue, Ga Tech and UVA all for aerospace engineering.

Honey, you got to drop your expectations, omg "I guess we'd have a hard time turning down Harvard".  My DS, legacy, and all that above was waitlisted, i.e., soft rejection, because unlike colleagues I know from Harvard, we could not pay the seven digit fee to get in.

If you are URM or first generation you might have a chance.  Otherwise start reading because you are in for a shock[/quote]
