[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had 4.0 GPA with 1590 SAT, and was accepted to an Ivy. He turned it down to attend George Mason on a full tuition+room/board scholarship because we would have to pay almost 85K per year, and we didn't receive any financial aid at the Ivy where he was accepted. Fast-forward to today, he is currently at UVA medical school.[/quote] Congrats to you and your son as being one of the few families on dcum making smart decisions.[/quote] Because they made you feel less inferior?[/quote] I'm a DP but I agree that the PP with the kid who took the full ride at GMU and got the super high GPA and all the bennies that go with it made a smart decision. Med school is all about GPA and accolades. It's harder to get that in an ivy, and the student now has several hundred thousand dollars saved toward med school. Plus as far as I can tell GMU's star is rising, while many DCUM threads lately are discussing the stars of other schools falling. [/quote]
