[quote=Anonymous]Our youngest got the letters from OU and Bama. He was already down the road at an Ivy, but the acceptance letter had not yet arrived. To make it a more even playing field, we offered to gift him half of the savings from the Ivy versus the free ride at OU or Bama if he graduated cum laude or better. He had STEM interests, but ultimately decided on the Ivy route. While the economic impact is substantial, I think the relative newness of the Honors opportunity at OU/Bama made the Ivy choice easier for him. Thinking that he would likely come back to the DC area, he felt the Ivy connections were more attractive. Perhaps we should have shown him the sorority video I saw mentioned above. No looking back.[/quote]
