[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went ED on a private school that is a top school. HHI is 350K. Kid had the credentials - academic, EC, Awards, internship, jobs, published paper, essays and recommendations. I was sick to my stomach thinking that we will be out 360K in 4 years. My DH was insisting that we could afford it, but I was horrified because he could go to our state flagship for 80K. I kept asking if the extra 280K was worth it for that degree? Would someone give that money to my kid ever in life for him to get a leg-up? Thankfully, the ED school rejected him. At that point, he went to the in-state school and with the amount of merit aid he got, it will cost us the cost of meals. That is all. I would never go ED again. [/quote] We went through the same stomach churning experience when DC applied to an elite private - likewise had the stats, etc, likewise rejected - ended up at a state school with good merit and honors program…and loves it.[/quote]
