[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow -- an extra $160K for college to prevent your kid from always wondering about Brown.  Priceless.  I guess, on this logic, if the kid doesn't get into Brown then she'll resent it for the rest of her life, but at least she won't blame her parents.

What other preferences (in the tens of the thousands of dollars range) must we all honor to stave off filial resentment?  I guess for parents that don't have the $$, it's just inevitable.

Seriously, if she enjoys herself in college, she won't look back, filled with resentment, regardless of where she ended up.  If she excels at UM, she'll have access to the same careers and grad schools she would have had if she'd graduated from Brown.  If she doesn't excel at UM, it's unlikely she would have excelled at Brown (which, in and of itself, is not a golden ticket anywhere).

Whenever I see posts like this, I wonder if the poster has ever met anyone with an Ivy League degree. It is so much easier. [/quote]

I agree.  It's a different world. [/quote]
