[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the prior poster think that her B daughter who didn't get into a "choice" school would have been better off at a different place than NCS? An A student from a lesser school with the same boards and extracurriculars may not have been admitted at said choice schools either.

I think she just wished they hadn't spent all that money.  I presume her daughter did get a substantively good education, though, but as a prior poster said, it's not irrational that people may second guess the great expense if they are very focused on college outcome.  Hopefully the daughter did great in college wherever she ended up.  [/quote]

I get that (I made point about Harvard).  Yeah, she would have saved $150k, but it's not like the only value of NCS (or another private) is the college your child gets into.  Sure, that's important, or very important, to some people, but that's not all they got.  The child is potentially better prepared for whatever college they go to, as well as for life.  If all you see a private school is as improving odds for a top college, then I maintain the better approach is to save the money and donate to the college you hope to go to.[/quote]
