[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any situation barring finances that you can think of where it makes sense for a kid to turn down an Ivy in favor of a strong state school (think UT, UVA, UNC) in this current climate? What if the kid is worried about politics or campus culture? Do they just stick it out bc they are all but guaranteed to get a good job in 4 years? [/quote] A very good reason to turn down an ivy would be distance from home. For many different reasons, not all kids want to be super far from home and most of the country is very far away from the northeast.[/quote] Distance from home doesn’t make sense to me as a reason to turn down an Ivy, or turning down Stanford if you are on the east coast. Once you cross the threshold of “driving is impractical”, does a 5 hour flight become no go where a 3 hour flight is somehow acceptable? Perhaps “proximity to home” is what’s desired. That’s fine, but call it what it is. [/quote]
