[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You understand that tuition rates have grown astronomically faster than wages since you were in college, right?[/quote]

Of course I understand. We can easily afford to pay tuition. However, even if we couldn’t, I would encourage my children to apply and attend the best college possible.

I know many kids going to UVA and W&M could have gone to “better” schools. I’m sure this is more from public high schools, not private. If you are already paying 50k for high school tuition, paying 80k for college tuition probably would not be a factor in deciding where to go to college.[/quote]

Op a lot of families like ours make way too much to get financial aid but still hurts the family bottom line to have to pay full price private!! Our kid will never get financial aid, we earn in the high six figures and yet our cost of living is high, our kids are in public school but we don’t have an extra $85k per year for college so if he gets into a good in state public that is suited for his major that would be great! I might have thought differently before but the college name is really what you make of it. [/quote]
