[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we are full pay with a HHI around 650k. we would only have paid slightly above in state, so merit is critical for private or OOS. our kid also is pre med and we plan on paying for medical school.  He is at his first year at VCU. he also got in Vandy, Colgate, and UT Austin. [/quote]

Got into Vandy, Colgate, Austin, went to VCU? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.[/quote]

Vandy and Colgate are all ~$80K+, and Austin OOSis 70K+.  PP stated he got $16K scholarship--so tuition free for IN-state.  Pretty smart to take that and run to the bank.  VCU has an excellent premed program---he will be well prepared. Chem 101/102, Org Chem 201/202 and Biology 101/102 all cover the material at every university.  To get into Med school you need a high gpa, research, great recommendation letters and a High MCAT.  Much easier to get a high GPA at VCU than at any of those with all the weed out courses and high competition.  He will easily get a 3.8+ at VCU.  Not to mention he will likely get to do research, be more involved with professors as the big fish in the pond at VCU vs everywhere else.  It's a win-win.  
Financially, it's a no-brainer.  His ultimately goal is medical school.  He will get that debt free, not many people can say that.  And the $64K he saves from undergrad will pay for a good portion of one year.

Blah blah blah if I made $650k I would not GAF about that or be trying to nickel and dime undergrad.[/quote]
