[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^. I think what PP was saying is that you can't assume that a student at Dickinson is not as smart or did not get into Amherst ... Maybe they are smarter to take the merit money instead of paying for Amherst.[/quote]

I honestly could not imagine turning down Amherst for Dickinson.  Dickinson may or may not be a cut above Elon, but Amherst is definitely miles ahead of Dickinson.[/quote]

Sure but the tide has turned... Merit aid is where it is at. Kids who need the better sweatshirt to feel good about themselves will pay $200k + for that sweatshirt. But kids who are smart and very confident will take the merit aid.[/quote]

So your kids will be wearing community college sweatshirts then? Probably would get a full-ride. [/quote]

Says the precious little snot with an MRS degree who thinks her husbands money makes her a better person.  :D [/quote]

Try again! I worked through college and grad school, received a mix of loans/grants, and now make more than DH. Wouldn't change a thing - my degrees from top programs were key in obtaining my first positions and have helped me all along the way. Worth every penny - and sweat - to me.

There is more to it than sweatshirts, obviously. As shown by how hostile you got when I suggested that you fully own your own approach.
