[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the possibilities for my kid scores a D on this list - https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawhitford/2022/06/09/the-strongest-and-weakest-colleges-in-america---behind-forbes-2022-financial-grades/

I am worried. Would you be? [/quote]

Yes many good schools are struggling and will face tougher conditions in 2026 when the 18 yr old population starts declining. Covid was also expensive for them.  I filtered out schools with a C or lower. Def check the bond rating.   I think of it as an investment and want the place to be around in 10 years.  I also noticed a lot of schools that give large merit to attract enrollment have lower Financial grades. It is not sustainable.[/quote][/b]

+1.  My SLAC is a B according to this list - and I can tell you I won't send my kids there.  Covid and prior mismanagement hit it hard.  I don't know what a D means[/quote]

B is fine. They can still turn things around. I wouldn't go below, though.[/quote]

I wouldn't send my kid to a school that scores a D because the opportunities will be limited there.[/quote]
