[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe I am reading a post from an in-state Virginia resident saying that that would rather have their kids go to a  CTLC school instead of W&M.  What a mistake.  [/quote]

Should students automatically go the highest ranked school they can get into, regardless of whether or not it's a good fit for them? That could end badly.[/quote]

Most kids at my kid's CTCL couldn't get in to W&M.  We didn't apply, and i could tell you he wouldn't have gotten in.  But if he somehow had, we wouldn't have sent him, because W&M doesn't have the kinds of support he needs.

I'll also point out that instate, the cost of attendance at W&M is $37,389.  With merit aid but not financial aid, our CTCL will cost exactly the same before adding on disability specific services, but my kid's not a particularly strong student (3.01 GPA, 23 ACT).  [b]The kids I know with stats anywhere close to W&M instate costs will pay far less at the CTCL.[/b]  [/quote]

And why shouldn't they pay less?  W&M is better and you get what you pay for.[/quote]
