[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We told our daughter instate or out of state with merit(no fafsa). Otherwise loans. I am not paying for my dd to go to a top school, but not very top( think bates or Hamilton, not amherst or Dartmouth) over UVA, WM or WL. [/quote] This is what I've told my kids too. Especially in the sciences, there is no value to paying 1.5 - 4x as much on a comparable education. I believe that there still is some value in the cache of an MIT or Stanford, but probably not as much as you would think, especially for undergrad. And considering the total roll of dice gaining entry into these top schools has become, it's not something that I have spend extraordinary money or effort trying to obtain for my kids. They can do all the "right" things and still be denied entry because they didn't happen to be quite the "right" person to fill out their vision of a complete student body. So arbitrary and ridiculous.[/quote]
