[quote=Anonymous][quote] Mine turned down full cost of attendance and summer $ for an ivy on the top10 overall: the opportunities have been almost without bounds and the chance to study with intellectually elite peers who on average are on the same level as themselves has been fantastic. Even with the NIH triggered funding cuts there are still many paid options for their own students this summer. Prestige matters. Those that say it doesn’t do not have students at different tiers to compare.[/quote] Which school offers this merit? It sounds like a Jefferson Scholar (UVA) or Morehead-Cain (UNC). My DC also received a full cost of attendance plus summer stipend offer to attend a private school that better fit DC’s academic interests. We had a 529 funded to cover DC’s college, but we question all the time whether we should have allowed him to make the decision and whether it was the right one.[/quote]
