[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had 4.0 GPA with 1590 SAT, and was accepted to an Ivy. He turned it down to attend George Mason on a full tuition+room/board scholarship because we would have to pay almost 85K per year, and we didn't receive any financial aid at the Ivy where he was accepted. Fast-forward to today, he is currently at UVA medical school.[/quote] [b]Why have your kid apply to an Ivy at all[/b]...you knew you were not going to receive any FA if you had used the NPC. It's kind of a pain in the a** to apply to some of these schools, so better to avoid all that if it is never an option.[/quote] Not the person you're quoting, but I'm guessing the full ride at George Mason was unexpected. Perhaps the decision would have been different if the choice was between full pay at Ivy vs. full pay at GM. This makes sense to me. [/quote]
