[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some high stats kids end up at lower ranked schools because they need merit aid. They don't qualify as truly needy but parents can't pay full freight. [/quote]

Or parents can pay full freight but don't see the ROI on $400k for an undergrad degree/aren't sucked in by the "name brand"/bragging rights.

Our super high stats kid got in everywhere, including T15. Currently attends #182 ranked school -- on a full ride.
It was a choice between $400k for undergrad (full freight) or $0.

Easy choice.

College fund will pay for T10 law school. Zero debt, and kid will still have money in the bank to start life after law school.

You are betting on future success in law school admissions which is fine. Your kid will get a solid education at their current school. For others the $100k per year is easily financed via cash flow and the cost is negligible. It isn’t surprising that they would make a different choice. Both are fine given circumstance.[/quote]

I love how this parent just assumes their kid will get into a T10 law school. Most of my classmates at a T10 law school were from top undergrad programs. Yes, you can certainly get to one from a lower ranked school, but the odds are not in your favor.
