[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] Must be heart breaking to not be able to afford this. My DC (super high stats) was rejected to all the T10, and it was sad, BUT, a part of me was so relieved. We cannot easily afford $85K/year, but we would've figured out a way to do it if they got in and really wanted to go. It would've hurt either way.[/quote] Our family is in the same boat. I'm honestly not sure what we'd do if the choice were Princeton or UMD. DD getting into the former would feel like the dog catching the car. Financially, I hope (and expect) we won't need to make that choice.[/quote]
