[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top state university.  My sister didn't even apply to the same university since she had pretty much no chance of getting in with her grades and SAT score.  I will say- she was always a hard worker and in many ways a better student than I was.  I just tested really well and didn't have to put much effort into getting good grades.  She went to an expensive private.  Since we were in college at the same time, there were times when I'd point out how much her college education was costing, whereas mine didn't cost any more than our private high school.  Also, my parents also paid my sister's rent for a year after she graduated while she "looked" for a job whereas I had a job pretty much right after graduating.  It's technically not fair, but it's not something I ever think about now or resent in any way.  They provided her with what she needed and me with what I needed.  While I'm sure it's not equal monetarily, over the years, they've helped me out in ways they didn't help her.

Now that I have kids of my own, I have one that absolutely needs the benefit of being in a small class that offers individual attention and one that would thrive at pretty much any school.  For now, we're sending them both to a private school.  However, if the cost gets to be more than we can handle, we'll keep the one who really needs it in private and send the other to public or parochial.  [/quote]
