[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know 5-6 kids from DC's grade at a MCPS public who turned down Ivies for partial or full rides elsewhere. That's just among DC's group of acquaintances and magnet classmates. [/quote] Very common in magnet schools in MCPS. The kids are brilliant and can get admission (as well as do well in) the top colleges. But for most of them, getting an undergrad degree is just the beginning of their college education. They will go on to grad schools and med and law schools and know that these years of higher education will cost them an arm and a leg. Most will also not qualify for need based scholarships, and they are not super rich that cost pr student debt is not a concern for them. So, they are going to state schools and other "not brand name" schools for full ride for their undergrad education. I think it is very smart. And I also think that they are bringing enormous value to these colleges. [/quote]
