[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve known young adults who chose the free ride (not UVA) and have always regretted it.  I know an Arizona native who had free ride to Arizona and took it over Stanford.  When applying to law school, he was offered free ride to Michigan or regular admission to Stanford.  He said he always regretted not going to Stanford for undergrad.  I also interviewed someone who went to UMD and had received the Bannker Key full scholarship.  He was embarrassed by UMD and unprompted (no one interviewing cared) he brought it up and said he only went there because of the scholarship.  [/quote]

taking a free ride at Arizona is not really the same as a prestigious scholarship at UVA.[/quote]

dp.  sure, it's different, but not so different.[/quote]

It's very different.  You have to be nominated by your high school for the Jefferson.  Only one per year and sometimes high schools don't nominated anyone.  That's 4,000 nominees, then culled locally, then regionally, then finally the remaining 132 spent 3 days at UVA and compete for 30 odd seats.  My DD was one of them but she didn't make it to the finals.[/quote]
