[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t always worth it for a family to put a huge stress on their finances for an impressive school. UVA produces very successful students and was likely much cheaper. I get it. The Ivy brand isn’t necessarily a good purchase if you, say, hurt your retirement. [/quote] UVA is barely top 25 and they are very weak in STEM and CS. It doesn’t attract top students.[/quote] oh stop with that. UVA grads in those areas get the exact same jobs as those who you'd consider "stronger". And yes it does attract top students. its possible that if this kid got into Harvard, they may be a Jefferson Scholar, which is def worth the trade off. That being said, I have never met a Harvard grad that didn't walk in with a massive ego. I actually prefer NOT to hire people from Harvard for that reason. Perhaps this is just a normal kid who wants a fun experience and be surrounded by "normal" smart kids. [/quote]
