[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who worked in admissions at UC Berkeley, who highly recommended that DC look at CTCL schools ([b]even though DC had the states for UCB).[/b]  He really felt the quality of the education was excellent and for students like my introverted DC, the environment is excellent.  DC ended up at a similarly nurturing LAC for other reasons.  My other DC will most likely end up at a CTCL.[/quote]

It's one thing to say he had the stats.  It's another thing to say he actually applied, got in, and turned it down.  Which we both know he didn't.[/quote]

Ok.[/quote]

it's just that, c'mon, you hear this all the time.  "My kid had the stats for this or that, honestly!.  But didn't even apply because he didn't want to go to a place like that."

Uh huh.  Sure.

My kid had the stats for top-tier schools (4.8 WGPA at MCPS magnet, 1580 SAT) but did not apply - not because he didn't want to go, but because we couldn't pay for them.  DC is at a LAC with $$$ merit aid.  (They did turn down the UMD-CP Honors program.)

Happens all the time.[/quote]
