[quote=Anonymous]I think OP would be best served by trying to adjust what is an "elite" college. I went to a LAC that ranks in the 40s on the USNWR liberal arts college rankings. They give tons of merit aid (I had a full tuition scholarship), have good honors programs, and send some people on to great grad schools. You can find schools like that where the cost will be competitive with, or better than, state schools for a student like this (a good SAT would have helped in the past, but I guess not right now). These places can be engaging environments for bright students who are looking for that, and most classes are discussion driven and small. Strong state schools can be like that, too, there's just more people to sort through to find the ones to engage with. And it will take longer to get to the smaller, discussion classes. But you have think beyond HYP, or Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams, etc. That's okay. There are plenty of good schools out there.[/quote]
