[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]

I would love for my child to go to CC for 2 years, it makes economic sense. Alas he was recruited to a D1 college and there is some eligibility issues that make that impossible.

I offer my kids a certain amount of money to go to college, I explain that going to CC for 2 years and then state school for 2 give them the same diploma and leaves them money for graduate schools.

With the redshirt and the D1 scholarship, my son will not be able to do 1 year of graduate school while still eligible to play. Pretty good financial sense.

So yes, I would gladly wear a CC sweatshirt, especially if it noted how much money I saved. So, I wear a UMBC one.

My UMBC graduate is at Dartmouth, buying a very expensive graduate school sweatshirt,but he has the money, because he got merit aid at UMBC, school was practically free, and he chose to spend his college money on Dartmouth ... I think UMCP would have been good, with money for a down payment on a house ... But it is his money.

Go ahead tell me Dartmouth is a lower ivy, I love that part.
