[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year people turn down U of C. You know nothing about what's will happen to the wait list.

I hope you don't ever assist your bright child with statistics homework.[/quote]

Wow, not the OP but you are an ass. I hope your child isn’t a thing like you. [/quote]

OP here. OF COURSE , I have no knowledge of waitlist movement. I was being facetious. My niece just found it so interesting that there were so many kids visiting yet were pretty sure they weren't committing. Maybe it was the free trip to Chi-town? [b]I mean who turns down U of Chicago for Richmond. [/b]But anyway, we met loads of amazing kids and the faculty was wonderful.

By the way my kid is so smart she'll never need my help in statistics. #MITGRAD.

Maybe the middle class does? We just got a note that tuition and fees for freshman has gone up several thousand dollars and is now 78k.
78k!

Then throw in books, travel, parents’ weekend, etc.  (Winter clothes, twin XL sheets....). It’s crazy expensive to send a kid off to college these days.  We’ve only got one, and high HHI, and been doing the 529 since birth, so we can afford it, but I think back to my parents (younger, lower HHI that never topped 100K, 4 kids).  They put us all through school (2 private, 2 public) out of pocket and with no FA — and while paying off my Mom’s student loans (she got her BA\MA the s@me year I finished HS).  Really different world.[/quote]

Yes, everyone has different obligations and life circumstances but I can tell you that considering ours we won’t be turning on the heat for the next 4 years and at least of us will have to sell our body to send kid to this school. [/quote]
