[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP here (of the whole thread).  What I learned is the following:

1. Premium for Wash U, Emory, or Tufts not worth it unless we can do it comfortably.  It might be for smaller classes (which we actually like as evidenced by attendance at a local private for High School).  But not unless we can do it comfortably.  Likely not easy because other kid will likely go to private college (perhaps Ivy because she will ED and has grades, test scores, and ECs).  How do I tell second kid not to ED Emory, Wash U, or Tufts when first one will ED an ivy?  He will have to wait for EA UVA and he likely will get deferred.  I suppose he could ED1 William and Mary and will likely get in.

2. For law school (I am a lawyer), I think it does make a difference where you go and undergraduate makes some difference but not fatal between UVA/William and Mary and the aforementioned privates (I just proved I am a lawyer by using aforementioned in a sentence).

I won't flame you for your writing (although it's pretty bad for a lawyer), but I will flame you as someone who obviously has no experience in elite school admissions given how optimistic you are about you kids' acceptances to these schools.  It's tougher than you think.[/quote]

It's a message board girlfriend not a legal brief.  I will send you some writing samples.  The conclusions are based on both internal school counselors and paid outside counselors (yes we can afford a few hours for consultants but that is different from four years of tuition at $75,000).  [/quote]
