[quote=Anonymous]It’s not a bad plan. If he goes to a big, lesser-ranked state school, it will be much less expensive for you all in the long run because tuition is cheaper at those places and they have generous merit aid. They tend to treat high-achieving students quite well, so he could be on some student advisory committees and have more one on one time with professors. If grad school/law school/etc. is in the future, top schools look for students from state universities and consider it a form of diversity. I went to a pretty no-name public and had classmates end up at T25 law schools and big time internships. And if that’s not in the future, that’s fine too - usually a big state university will have a solid alumni network, especially in the area around the college, so his job prospects should be pretty solid too. I’d just advise him to pick a college in a good location near a major city/not a super isolated college town because that will make the internship/job situation much easier. [/quote]
