[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My own kid turned down an Ivy for UVA and is not premed.  We know a few more including the child of a good friend.

I was recently looking at college acceptance posts on instagram and there are quite a few URM who are turning down an Ivy or other Top20 for HBCUs.

Not everyone is the DCUM prestige chasing, Ivy obsessed.  People make all sorts of decisions for all sorts of reasons. Isn't it good that the entire world isn't made of the same person?  [/quote]

Families look at affordability. With some universities at over $100k a year (USC), $42k for in-state UVA arts & Sciences looks very attractive. That’s what our DC thought and picked UVA. We banked the difference so now can pay for Harvard Law which is a whopping $126k a year for a Supermax cell of a room designed by Gropius. [b]An apartment in Cambridge will bring the actual cost up to $246k a year. [/b]No, Harvard doesn’t offer merit because it doesn’t need to.[/quote]

Your math isn’t mathing.
