[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Folks the problem is the ED. Higher chance of getting in but then we are committed. We want the higher chance of admission but want the optionality of UVA. Likely, we would choose UVA, especially with siblings that will be in college at same time. [/quote] So the answer is to do RD. You're not rich enough to shrug off the cost of a private college vs. public. Plus don't forget that in today's job market, he will need some type of grad degree.[/quote] This is the answer. If you cannot readily afford $75k per year for the private school then you cannot apply ED to the private. It does not matter that your kid has a better shot applying ED if you can't afford it. Just apply EA and RD to all schools and see where the chips fall. We faced the same issue (ED to Ivy or hold out for UVA in-state) but decided we could afford the Ivy if son got in (as our HHI is $500k). Son got in and he withdrew UVA application. [/quote]
