[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You explain that to him, in direct terms. Tell him you're not going to pay extra for his snobbism, unless he can identify an academic direction he's interested in and why a major at X school has a better reputation in the profession than the same major of State U. [/quote] Well I’m not paying for it. He’ll need to take loans. I’ve been clear on that. [/quote] No, he cannot take loans that cover anywhere near the cost of college, OP. Please educate yourself on the financial landscape these days. The parents can take on loans, not the student. So in-state it is! If he's OK with a less-selective college, he can get merit aid. It's not based on "merit", it's based on his profile compared to most students at that school. They want to retain kids they view as brighter than their usual fare (but be careful of yield protection, where they reject kids who make it obvious they're just applying as a safety). [/quote]
