[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my husband and I, we don't want to spend that kind of money unless there are both hard benefits (top feeder to good outcomes and will ensure some sort of safety net for our kids) and soft benefits ([b]wide recognition, perhaps useful for relationships[/b]). And this sentiment is shared amongst our friends who have kids going to college soon as well. Our "no questions asked" scenario would be if our kid got into HPSM, Caltech, Duke, Penn/Wharton, Yale, or Columbia. There are other schools that we'd likely pay for full as well, but we'd have to give a bit more thought. There are not many schools we'd think are worth it over UVA with in-state tuition, although the in-state is not on the cheaper end across the country (but justifiably).[/quote] I don't think the so-called hard benefits are unique colleges based in Universities. As for the soft benefits, I think this goes back to "what will people back in Asia think?" And that's a legit concern if that's where your heart is. [/quote]
