[quote=Anonymous]Right: - save early. We put a bonus in the 529 when kid was 3 months old. - it's much harder to get in than it was for our generation - colleges are all about brand-building: inducing kids to apply to drive down admissions percentages, driving up URM numbers as much as possible, etc. - covid threw things into even more disarray - get essay done early - in-person visits are important - demonstrated interest is important - prep school really prepares them - demographics matter: it is hardest for white girls right now, except for engineering Wrong: - you should always take merit because free money, and if you don't people will judge you for being stupid - ranking especially US news is the most important thing - only US schools are worth it and you'd have to be crazy to have someone go abroad except oxbridge and perhaps McGill - greek life is important (some)[/quote]
