[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was in somewhat the same boat-- choosing between a full ride at Miami and an Ivy with no merit aid. We liked Miami, but my son just could not turn down an ivy after working so hard in high school. This is his third year in college and he already has a job lined up. But he may go to graduate school instead.  [b]The resources he has accessed at his ivy are truly incredible. They offer many paid internships and fellowships.  He has done research overseas twice paid by school grants. [/b]So we are pleased with his choice.  I am sure he would have been very successful at Miami too, but he is very happy with his choice.[/quote]

I'm just putting this in bold for the Ivy league nay sayers who have zero understanding of some of the inherent value of attending such a school.[/quote]
Well, my kid at a non-Ivy has done all of this too. So, let’s not pretend like you need to go to an Ivy for any of this to happen.

She’s going to be studying the effects of PTSD in Ukraine this summer - totally funded, and with a stipend - and is so excited. [/quote]

Sounds like a hoot![/quote]
