[quote=Anonymous]For my kids and our finances, none. They aren't the kind of students who would be competitive for a Stanford/MIT/Harvard/etc. that could be transformative for the future tech genius, entrepreneur, etc. Maybe we'd be willing to figure it out if they were that kind of kid. But for solid but not exceptional students I see no reason to spend that much for a non-elite private or OOS public. One of my kids goes to VT and that was the only place he wanted to go. The other goes to an OOS LAC that costs us just a bit more than VT after merit. It's possible DC2 might have liked an expensive, higher ranked LAC more but we didn't bother exploring those, knowing they were out of the question with our budget. Both are doing well at their schools, getting good academic experiences, and summer jobs in their fields. I don't feel like we lost out on anything in not being able to spend $90k.[/quote]
