[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so my DC is a high gpa mid-test score kid being recruited for their sport - it may sound odd but most interest is coming from an ivy (lower tier by the thread earlier today lol) and USF.  But question for DCUM land is would you choose a full ride to a lower ranked, albeit good state school like USF over a Penn, Brown, or Dartmouth full pay? We can afford full pay, but would be a great start for our DC basically giving them that money to kick start their life? Kid wants to go into business, but very open ended on that front entrepreneurial studies to sales to finance. [/quote]

No we would never for mine. They both turned down merit money to go T10. 
Not recruited athletes and had top scores so we knew they would excel there. It is a bit different for a recruit that has mid test scores as you say: they will not be likely to be top 25% or even top half. That can matter for many careers. Still though the ivy opens many more doors than USF even for the ones who end up below average[/quote]
