[quote=Anonymous]OMG. Your husband really needs to spread the word that parents shouldn't make the same mistake his mom did. I was a low-income first-gen kid from Texas in the 1980s and Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and all the other top schools that admitted me were much more affordable than UT Austin. Maybe UTEP would have been about the same price. But who goes there for the same price as those top schools?! Now, if the single mother you're talking about made over $100K back then, that's a whole different thing. But I'm guessing that by describing her that way you're trying to make the point that money was tight.

And of course some kids from schools like UTEP manage to still find their way to top law schools. But the odds are very much against you at a school like UTEP relative to the elite schools.

"My husband attended university of Chicago Law and was accepted at Harvard, Standford and Georgetow n and went to UTEP undergrad. He had a single mom and that was the most she could afford. I would not spemd over $300k for a 4 year degree to raise my kid’ s chances to go to a top law school. That is silly."[/quote]
