[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely see it at my DC's big MoCo high school. I know 3-4 kids who got into Ivies (top Ivies! Go get 'em, troll!) who have committed to state schools or private universities that offered better FA instead.[/quote] My daughter was one. She turned down an Ivy, but not because of FA. She visited and just plain didn't like it. She shocked everyone. I'll admit to being a little disappointed in her decision initially. But she is thriving in a competitive honors program in a state school. I guess she was smart enough to know which school was the better fit for her.[/quote]
