[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What's wrong with that? I think it is better than giving your kid false hope of being able to get into a school you/she/he can't afford, or being burdened with loans that will take years to pay off.[/quote] I'm genuinely curious -- not sure why some of think this was a hostile or snarky question. I couldn't care less if someone doesn't care where my kids go to college -- it is the way it is said by UVA fanatics, as if UVA is THE END ALL BE ALL, dismissive of out of state colleges. [b]We just always encouraged our kids to broaden their horizons and shoot for the top[/b], so it's interesting that families build up this hype around UVA -- that is their bar, that is the geography their kids funnel to.[/quote] Good for you. Some of us don't have the extra $160K to do that. [/quote]
