[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are going in-state. No $$ for any Ivies or SLACs. My DD got accepted to several competitive colleges, but when we looked at the price tag, we said, No Way!!

I think a lot of parents are thinking the way we are. Both [b]DH and I went to Ivies[/b], but we are not rich enough to not feel $68K per year.

The end result is that a lot of kids who might have gone to Ivies 20 or more years ago, are now going to colleges that offer merit aid or to in-state schools that are much cheaper,  meaning the quality of the student body at cheaper schools is going up. That's our experience. DD is very happy and challenged at her in-state college. [/quote]

My DW went to an Ivy and I did not.  We are both equally successul.  Your undergraduate degree does not determine your destiny.  Neither does your grad for that matter.  We just went to one of my wife's Ivy alum gatherings and most of the parents their with college age kids had their kids in state universities b/c of the cost.

My DD is seriously considering going to NOVA for two years and doing the guaranteed admission route through them into UVA, if only to save money for grad school. Smart girl! [/quote]

Except UVA is at capacity and not accepting any transfers. That is happening. [/quote]
