I'm not sure how W&M got into this conversation anyway, OP didn't state them. Emory and WashU are interchangeable academically, with WashU being a bit better at STEM, and Emory being a little better in humanities. However, St.Louis is one big ghetto, so Emory is better. One should only choose UVA if in state of wanting to do business. Tufts is the odd one out as the other three do everything better than them, and W&M is .... W&M. [/quote]

Well, you can never be sure who the OP is on an anonymous board, but this is where W&M got into the conversation:

"Hey guys so OP here. Thanks. Yes we have about 90K each for each of first two kids (180k for avoidance of doubt). 50k for third kid 2 years behind. So will have three in college for two years. HHI was like low 200s but last 3/4 years has been 300K. Another 170k total from two rental properties (net after taxes) we plan to sell. Could raise around 450K pretty quickly. Easily pay in state. Basically, I know for one kid she is IVY or UVA if she doesn't get in ED to an Ivy (barring merit aid). She will ED Ivy. Worth it in my view.

Issue is the second one. He is not strong enough to ED Ivy but real shot at the tier below. Going to be hard to tell him not to ED a top 20ish school. He is more than fine going to UVA or William and Mary. Will ED2 W&M if he doesn't get in to the ED choice (whichever it is--Emory, Wash U, or Tufts).

Honesty, I think Tufts and Wash U are probably low tier Ivyish. Jury out on Emory.

Loans are an option right? Pay 2 years each for each of three kids and loans for the other two. We can pay them off later for them."[/quote]
