[quote=Anonymous]Here's the problem comparing StA & public exmissions: money. Typically, StA parents with Ivy degrees can afford to send their legacy children to their schools. But, I have worked with TJ and Whitman parents who were undergraduate alums of P & Y, yet their children didn't even apply. Why? The parents could not afford it. Two working parents earning mid-level salaries won't get major Ivy FA. But they can’t pay full freight, particularly if they have several children. That's probably why hundreds of TJ grads attend W&M and U.Va each year. Those of us who can afford today's tuitition rates should coulnt our blessings. I have two extended family members who "turned down" Duke, and a friend whose daughter had to turn down several Ivys. It’s just a class issue, not a talent one. [/quote]
