[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im sounding the alarm. The end is near.

For any one of you paying full tuition at a Private School for college admissions purposes (hoping you'll get into a better college), you are 100% wasting your money. I have several children in Big 3's and unless you are URM, QuestBridge, Athlete or Legacy - you are completely wasting your money. No one cares that your school is tough. That a 3.7 is really great. No one cares about ACT/SATs anymore.

You are wasting your money. 100%

The college admissions process is now washed of achievement. And there is backlash against wealth and privilege.

Dont do it. Dont waste your time. And your money. And stop perpetuating the dummying down of our system.

I wish someone would have told me 3 years ago before I enrolled my kids. Total waste of money.[/quote]

For about the fifth thread on this topic -- we do not send kids to private to get into a better college.  That factors into it zero.  Probably would do better if at public.  Not why we are there.[/quote]
DP.. so if you spent $$ on private school, and your kid ends up going to some place like... Salisbury univ, you won't mind at all?  Not knocking on Salisbury Univ. I went to a B rated state univ myself.  I find it hard to believe that private school parents don't have some minimum expectations for their kids and what colleges they end up at after having spent over a 100K on private school.[/quote]

NP. I would be fine with it. [/quote]
