[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are full pay, Would you pay full price for
Emory
BC
UMiami
Villanova
GWU
….going down the rankings list, LMU?
Is there a cutoff for private colleges? Where you tell your kid to just take merit elsewhere, or go in state? What is your cutoff, or are you full pay so you will full pay anyplace ?

(If you are not full pay, and need FA, instate, or merit, please don’t respond, your considerations are different)

Well, money is the consideration. Even it you are wealthy. Multiple kids. Someone might want to go to med school. Another grad school. Another law school.

That's easily a million plus.

Do you really want to throw $500,000 at your stoner party boy to be mediocre at Miami? Is that doing him any favors? Is that going to make him a good man? Do you want to throw $400,000 so that your girl gets into the popular sorority at Tulane? Is that going to make her a good person and succeed at life?

We gave our kids choices. There's the public flagships. Totally good schools. They have duel citizenship - so there are those schools. Also very good. And there are about forty schools in the US that are extremely good. From MIT to Bowdoin. We will cover all of that.

But we are not dropping a gazillion dollars on Franklin and Marshall or Pepperdine or Landmark College.

Choose how you want to go about things. We will take care of things. But it's their initiative. [/quote]

Not to quibble…but yeah your kid getting into the top fraternity/sorority could impact their success in life.  Way more than getting a 4.0 or any number of things at State U.[/quote]
