[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely see it at my DC's big MoCo high school. I know 3-4 kids who got into Ivies (top Ivies! Go get 'em, troll!) who have committed to state schools or private universities that offered better FA instead.[/quote] Really! Wow! I find this to be incredible. Money talks. I must say, that if my kid got into a "top" Ivy League school, that would be the one circumstance under which I would let my kid go to a private university.[/quote] That was my post. I know a little about the families, although not a ton. I do know this much. In a couple of the cases, it's not a question of "let my kid go" because there really isn't a choice given the family's finances. This begs the question, why were the kids were allowed to apply at all? Perhaps they were hoping for more generous FA, but I don't know them well enough to say. [/quote]
