This is exemplifies what is happening. You’ve got a premier student who couldn’t apply RD to dream school for financial reasons, parents weren’t comfortable with price tag anyway, now most likely headed to state flagship. A top performing UMC kid iced out of top private college due to cost.

“She didn’t ED to keep her options open. That was mostly because of DH & me, due to the cost of college and wanting to see any scholarship options available. She will most likely wind up at our state flagship on a full tuition scholarship, so that’s nothing to sneeze at and we’re grateful she has that option. Still, we probably would have made it work for Swat. DD wanted to leave our area for college to experience a different part of the country.”[/quote]

So she will attend the honors college (most likely) at the state flagship and graduate debt free, most likely with her parents able to help fund graduate school if desired, because they only paid R&B and misc expenses. 
That's exactly what everyone except the wealthy would choose.  Thousdands do it each year, be it state flagship or another non T40-50 private school that gives excellent merit.
