[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the advice. I was actually interested in UVA for DS but wasn't sure he'd have a chance much with his SAT score, haven't really thought the URM advantage is a significant one - happy to hear otherwise. Yes DH and I work in finance, but in mid-level firms, not a major bank/hedge fund (reluctant to specify further on whether we are buy-side or sell-side, for obvious privacy reasons). We have connections to get him a job and we have saved up money to pay 4 years of college, but obviously if BC is not the best option in terms of merit aid OR in terms of finance prestige, then I am going to tell DS to consider other options. For what it's worth as an AA family we did not experience any discomfort in Boston, felt it was a very cultured and polite city, never felt any kind of alienation. We were only there for 4 days but it was a good trip. Wish DS had the SAT score for Harvard - that would have been worth the tuition money![/quote]
