[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had 4.0 GPA with 1590 SAT, and was accepted to an Ivy.  He turned it down to attend George Mason on a full tuition+room/board scholarship because we would have to pay almost 85K per year, and we didn't receive any financial aid at the Ivy where he was accepted.  Fast-forward to today, he is currently at UVA medical school.[/quote]

Smart Choice!!!!  Now he can graduate medical school without added debt from Undergrad (and possibly without much debt at all if you are able to help him).  
Also, it is much easier to get high GPA, research, excellent recommendations at a "slightly lower ranked school" where your kid is Top Dog.  THat's what med schools want to see.  And in reality, where you go for undergrad does not affect medical school.  It may just "seem that way" because people who can be full pay at Ivy are also the ones who can be full pay at medical school and don't have to search for the "most affordable medical school"
