[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are only freshman but have been debating with several people.  If your kids get into UVA with in state tuition, do you go there versus a Top 15ish private, e.g., Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, etc.

It seems like it boils down to if you get Harvard, Yale,  or Princeton, you go there over UVA.  If you get lower tier ivies such as Penn, Cornell, you go to UVA because of cost difference.  My view is any ivy over UVA.  But I would not spend money on a Boston University, George Washington (I went there), NYU, etc. over UVA.

Thoughts?  What ivies would you go to over UVA?  Just HYP?  Georgetown and Northwestern?

I will have three kids in college at same time (for two years) so tuition is a factor.  [/quote]

wow you are way ahead of yourself.  :)  Unless you are buying into a pre-paid UVA tuition situation, just chill for a while and see how your kids do.  When they are juniors, you can see if they are the very tippy top of their class (ie. can they stand out in the new era where grade inflation and SAT score inflation make the top tier of kids essentially all seem 'flat' compared to each other) or have some 'pointy' area where they excel to the point of talking about HYP.  Otherwise, you're just wasting your time even thinking about any of this... and should be googling Mary Washington too![/quote]
