[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello.  Midd alum here. I graduated in 2006 and my parents made roughly $250k a year and I did not receive any financial aid.  Cost was approx ~$40k back then, more with books and plane tickets home and spending money, etc.  I wish they hadn't given me carte blanche to pick the most expensive school in the country, practically.  It wasn't worth it and it set them back tremendously financially.  They took out a second mortgage and went into credit card debt.  I had no idea until years later.  They couldn't afford it.  Even though I had gotten good grades in high school I was a "B" student at Midd and partied too much in retrospect.  Basically, I was an ungrateful immature 18 year old.  I ended up at a Tier 2 law school (that's #50-100?).  In sum, I wish my parents had been honest with me that Middlebury was too expensive and directed me to a state school (CA schools are great) or a private school that would have kicked in some incentive money (maybe [b]Rice[/b] back then, etc).  Just my experience if it's helpful.  [/quote]

Middlebury is fantastic school but it is not the prestige of Rice. [/quote]
