[quote=Anonymous]Three of our (in state NOVA) kids were faced with this decision. All good students with sensible heads on their shoulders, none approached the college admissions process with this silly idea that "fit" is the same thing as finding a perfect mate for a marriage. Many colleges for most kids qualify as a good or very good fit, not just one. Of course cost and practicality factor into the equation among other things. Two of the three ended up choosing UVA over more highly ranked (but not top 10) private schools. A third did not even apply to UVA because they really wanted a liberal arts college, and in the end turned down William & Mary in state for a top 10-15 liberal arts college that gave enough merit aid to make the cost difference justifiable. Sure, in all three cases we could have afforded the private schools with or without merit aid, there are a lot of things we can afford but don't buy or pay for just because we can. [/quote]
