[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dartmouth or Cornell, loved both, got in both but parents wouldn't pay.  Went to Delaware on a full ride.  [/quote]

Any regrets?[/quote]

No, went on from Delaware to a top5 law school.  My kids wish they had Ivy legacy status but my life has been great![/quote]

A HS friend of mine turned down UVA OOS to do UD on a full ride scholarship. She went to Harvard for grad school. This board has told me multiple times that this person doesn't actually exist ;P, but I know she does. And your story also proves that people do go from UD to top schools.

My parents pretty much wouldn't hear of me staying to go to UD, so I went 8 hours away to school. In hindsight, it wouldn't have been the worst thing ever and I probably could have gone for soooo cheap (I think my friend who went for free was like #4 in our class and I was #9). That said, I also loved my college experience and had the best of both worlds - went away to school, but got to be an honorary Blue Hen when I was home.[/quote]
