[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The valedictorian in my son's class went to Yale.  This is a MCPS high school that DCUM regularly disparages, and is seen as a negative if you are looking at real estate in the cluster.

[b]The valedictorian in my graduating class in an average, small mid-west town went to Arizona State on a full scholarship, including room & board.  He was accepted everywhere he applied, but only Arizona State gave the full package and let him choose his major.[/b][/quote]

Very selfish and short-sighted decision. You go to Arizona State, you better stay in Arizona or maybe southern California if you want that to pay off. But what good does that do? Another parent at my high school met with Boston College's financial aid office because they only offered a little bit of need-based aid. The Financial Aid person said they could sell their house or take out loans. But the parent really didn't love their kid that much, so they took the state school ride the way your valedictorian did.

Short-sighted.[/quote]
