[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we are full pay with a HHI around 650k. we would only have paid slightly above in state, so merit is critical for private or OOS. our kid also is pre med and we plan on paying for medical school.  He is at his first year at VCU. he also got in Vandy, Colgate, and UT Austin. [/quote]

Got into Vandy, Colgate, Austin, went to VCU? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.[/quote]

Because he is pre-med and that would be a colossal waste of money.  He also got into a bunch of other schools, but all were similar in price to VCU (before the provost scolarship). My examples were real life comparisons as the poster was asking about private/expensive schools.[/quote]

Don't let them DCUM Shame you.  What your kid is doing is the smart choice!  
Even if he decides not to do Medical school (as someone stated), he will be debt free, likely have a very high gpa and the ability to go to an excellent grad program in whatever he wants to do, all that you can afford to pay for.

The kid didn’t decide that…his dum a** parent let him apply to schools that don’t give merit aid and then told his kid he can’t go because….guess what…he didn’t get merit aid.

I mean don’t let him apply.[/quote]

where did i say he couldn’t go? he could go, but he’d blow through all his med school money. Unlike you he’s intelligent and understands what it takes to get into med school and understands that 300k is better spent on med school than undergrad that doesn’t mean shit for med school applications.

Many of you clearly know absolutely nothing about what it takes to be a doctor. You’re goofy. [/quote]

Those of us who intended, at one time, to become a doctor but changed our minds and our major in undergrad think it's nuts to choose your undergrad based on "doesn't matter where you go if you're going to med school".[/quote]
