Not sure what point you are making, but the vast majority of Big3 kids are full pay everywhere. They are generally very wealthy and have been paying $50k+ for k-12 grade. Cost is not an issue for most families.[/quote]

Which is probably the point PP was making. There are schools that sound good enough that will take a full pay marginal student coming out of the right high school. Those same students would be looking at third tier public schools if they needed aid. [/quote]

Are Trinity, Elon, TCU etc.. those kind of schools which would take a marginal student as long as they are full pay? Not sure what third tier public schools are , VCU?[/quote]Vcu might be tougher to get in to, simply more competition plus they have their honors programs and dish out aid to try to pick off string academics.

Face it small private schools with classes of 100-140 students per grade try to push the sub 3.0 kids to small 2000 person colleges that cost $60-90k and have more each day holding or just totally liberal kumbaya. Then the kid just go to grad school since limited recruiting only to successful alums. So you’re setting yourself up for 6-8 years of school to be marketable. [/quote]
