[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In that case, lets say your kid gets in one of the schools you mentioned, Stanford, MIT or Wharton but no financial aid or very little. How are you going to justify a $80k+ vs £9.3k?[/quote]

That is a tough one. For us UK citizens, outside of Oxbridge is a full pay degree from Stanford/MIT/Wharton worth $300k more than a degree from Durham, St. Andrews or Warwick? As a Brit, I personally do not think so. But lets see what happens.[/quote]

My kid was accepted to Brown ED. Zero aid. He is going to St Andrews.[/quote]

Breaking the ED contract? Why apply ED the? Hugely unethical. [/quote]

[b]Please stop. ED only apply in the US….go ahead and let the school sue….will never happen….[/quote][/b]

False.  Read.  https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/business/tulane-early-decision-colorado-academy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.wU8.9wBq.Qebrx0FghTCn&smid=url-share[/quote]

What is false? The school punished the high school….what is false? There is no legal recourse for the school other than “punish” the high school. if Brown did that to our kid’s school because of my kid, hell would break loose given the number of kids going there on annual basis…..[/quote]

The parents and child sign an agreement in front if the counselor committing to attend if selected. It’s a moral and ethical obligation. The counselor is required to be involved to emphasize the seriousness of the commitment and the fact that it reflects poorly upon the high school if the parents play games. Hence, Tulane is cracking down on schools whose parents misbehave. Expect more of this. You are sending a very poor example to your own children when you do this plus they will
Be shunned at the high school if a school
Like Tulane blackballs future students from that high school in applying. Why would you want to do that to your own kid? And, yes, it applies to all schools, Canadian, German, British.[/quote]
