[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You explain that to him, in direct terms. Tell him you're not going to pay extra for his snobbism, unless he can identify an academic direction he's interested in and why a major at X school has a better reputation in the profession than the same major of State U. [/quote] Second this. I told my kid she was going in State unless she had a compelling reason that another school offered something combination of things she couldn’t get in state. Prestige was one of those things. I gave her a list of private schools that I would pay for (based on a judgment that the brand was worth the cost: ivies, etc). I told her she could apply to other privates too but I wouldn’t pay much more than in state cost so she’d need merit. Easy. She got it. She applied to all kinds of schools. But she understood our agreement. [/quote]
