[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1990s, my father told me you get into an Ivy or you go to state u. Motivated me to get into an Ivy, which I did. Of course, that was when you really just needed excellent grades and high scores. It sort of doesn't make sense to pay Cadillac prices for a Chevy when you've got a perfectly good Toyota at half the cost.[/quote] Some of us do not consider schools ranked 30-50 “Chevy” caliber. We view them as top notch and worth the cost to us, especially if it’s the right fit for our kid [/quote] I am PP and actually agree with you and we are in fact paying full price for the Chevy right now and very happy with the Chevy (which in some ways has advantages over the Caddie- mainly with respect to not being just another small fish in a big pond). But it really comes down to personal resources. Paying up for the Chevy is a bit of a luxury- it may not be sensible for everyone to do it. [/quote]
