[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are full pay, Would you pay full price for
Emory
BC
UMiami
Villanova
GWU
….going down the rankings list, LMU?
Is there a cutoff for private colleges? Where you tell your kid to just take merit elsewhere, or go in state? What is your cutoff, or are you full pay so you will full pay anyplace ?

(If you are not full pay, and need FA, instate, or merit, please don’t respond, your considerations are different)

DC1 was interested in STEM so we were OK with full pay for T20ish schools as long as they were good in that domain and of course other personal factors.. This eliminated schools like Emory, Wash U, etc. but added in USC and Harvey Mudd. This also included the top 3 Publics (all OOS). UVA also made the cut because it was in-state.

DC2 does not have the grades for Tier1 schools and there's no way we are paying full fare at those levels (60K+ tuition) for a lower-tier school. Don't mind paying if tuition is down to the $40K level as long there's a good fit and strong programs. This is pretty much every OOS public university (with a few exceptions) and lower-tier Privates (after merit) out there. [/quote]
