[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to tour Michigan State last week while visiting family.[b] We happened to meet this dean who told us about Michigan State being a "dream school." I loved the school and impressed that this ranking of Dream Schools is taking into account what students actually do on campus rather than the GPA's of incoming students. [/b]Anyone have experience at MSU?

Dear OP, I mean this kindly.  You HAVE to become a more sophisticated consumer for your kid.  Every single college out there is marketing to get your money.  Every single Ao is going to be charming.  Every school will present itself as a Dream School. You must start reading, watching podcasts, and learning from others.  Do not fall for the endless crap that every single school presents.  Start from the beginning. What can your family realistically afford, acknowledging that some schools are now $99K a year (USC I'm looking at you); what are your in-state options? What are your kids' interests? major? size of school? planned activities? Then start an affordable list of safeties, targets, and reaches to go to the tour.[/quote]
