[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not for a pre-professional program.  Save the money for MCAT/LSAT training and tell your kid to stand out on campus at the state U.[/quote]

What if the state U is, say, one with an 80% admission rate. So ranked not highly at all? The in between option(s) was not one that DC liked (you know, like a 30-50% admit).[/quote]

Nope...don't go into debt.

The issue is it's a bit too late now to fix the real problem, which is WHY THE HELL did you let your kid apply to A) a school you cannot afford, B) a school they don't really like and C) a school "not highly ranked at all that you really don't think is good for your kid"?   The time to fix this is when creating a list of colleges to apply to.  A Target/safety is NOT a good choice if your kid doesn't really want to attend.  But you could have found many good targets and Safeties that your kid would want to attend and are affordable.

IMO, State U will be fine, join the honors program.  It should be easier to maintain a very high GPA at a school like that versus a T20. And you need that for Med school/law school/dental school[/quote]
