[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally disagree that DS#2 should get the money. School is what it is and when all grad schools are over then split the leftover equally or pass down for grandchildren. Kids should never have been brought into the funding discussion unless there was a certain cost that could not have been supported. And I say this as a person whose parents paid for my sister #1 law school and sister #2 medical school. In any event, nice problem to have! [/quote]

So you’re saying hard work don’t matter?  It is extremely hard to get an athletic scholarship.[/quote]

OK..look at my scenario.  #1 is a very casual student.  He applied to mid tier schools and got merit aid at all of them.  Choose one and tuition was similar to instate.  #2 was a very focused student.  MCPS magnet, 1600 SAT, internship at national lab.  She got in to an Ivy full pay.  Do I give the difference to #1 for coasting in school?  I assume the athlete loved the sport and chose his path that lead to the scholarship.  If the parents forced him to participate in order to pay for college, I guess that would be different.  [/quote]
