[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD initially was focused on going to an OOS state school.  In the end she was really worried that the place she liked the most would be a back up for the in-state students (who are 80%) were compelled to attend bc of cost.  I think this was in part bc she was offered honors/merit at our in state school and felt this way herself but really wanted to go away.  She wound up at a private school which wasn’t what she had originally planned.  [/quote]

what an incredibly snobby and entitled child you raised[/quote]

Np. I kind of get it because my daughter was so happy to go to her first choice but was kind of bummed that all of her friends had been rejected by their top ivy/elite choice so they always had a chip on their shoulders about never being totally happy with their school.

Not a big deal, of course, but real. [/quote]

It’s delusional to believe that the in-state kids at the state flagship have a chip on their shoulders! You people REALLY need to get out of your bubbles. [/quote]

It's actually.. not that crazy of a thought.  You don't think there are in-state kids at somewhere like Michigan that got into private schools and didn't attend due to cost that are peeved about it?[/quote]

I agree with this. We know plenty of kids who don't view their fantastic in state options like UF, UNC, UVA the way out of state students do. They have a tough time getting excited about these schools because they see them as an extension of their high school experience. Of course they are great schools and make 100% financial sense, but to an 18 year old, they don't have the same draw as a unique far away experience. [/quote]

I know people who bribed their kids to go to UMD in state.  I know adults who went to in state great schools who wish they’d gone away.  This is common.  
The person calling these kids names is so sanctimonious and out of touch. [/quote]
