[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Told DS that any school that's not HYPSM is going to have to come up with aid to get us "near" the cost of W&M full pay in-state. That's it. [/quote]

That’s the absolute worst. 
You’re telling your kid that it’s Ivy or In state only, which means that you are telling them that you have the money, but if they’re not at the tippy top and have their name chosen out of the magical hat, you don’t find them worthy of the money you would otherwise spend on their education.

Yeah, I just don't get that.  There are may T20-T100 that cost $60-80K that are excellent schools.  So they'd pay full for HYPSM but not for Tufts or Vanderbilt or Rochester or Case or GaTech or CMU or UCLA or the list goes on and on....?  All excellent schools and well worth full pay, if you thought HYPSM were worth full pay.  Those parents only care about being able to brag about where their kid went apparently.

PP. I'm sorry for the fact that I'd full pay Harvard but not Tufts is offensive to some posters on this thread. I'd also likely full pay for a Lexus but not a Toyota. [/quote

Well depending upon your major Tufts or GATech or others are actually better schools.  Just seems controlling to limit where your kid can go, as long as they are good schools.  [/quote]
