[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has been advised to shoot below his weight for merit. He is a junior, top 10% of class at a competitive high school with APs across the board, but we make too much and so we will be looking for merit. Our flagship is extremely competitive. That will be his first choice, however. I know this a very common predicament, and so I am curious how other kids have fared when they ended up at schools that were not particularly competitive. Did they end up thriving? Were they disappointed? Do you regret settling? What were the schools? Our tuition budget for him is $60k, which will open some doors but close many others. [/quote] Kid studied business at U of Nebraska. Got merit aid what wiped out the out-of-state portion of the tuition. Had great time. Very compact campus. Kid had internship during the school year & worked for same company after graduating. Career has progressed & subsequent jobs in financial hub cities have been easy to get.[/quote]
