[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lastly, if the student belongs in a more rigorous program, why aren't they attending a more rigorous college?[/quote]
I have already posted upthread.  Many of my peers were in the program because it combined a more rigorous experience with both the lower tuition cost and the research opportunities of a state university.  The landscape of financial aid has changed in the past generation so perhaps the need for low-cost alternatives is less than when I went.  I don't yet have experience sending my children to college so other posters would need to speak to that.  [/quote]

My high stats student is looking at honors colleges at state colleges that carry her major. For her, she can get tuition waved, honors college admittance (and all the perks included) and money for grad school in the bank. [/quote]

This is us too.  Our child had a perfect SAT as a a junior, and has an unweighted 4.0. We won't qualify for any financial aid, but can't afford the top schools (which don't offer any merit aid) and grad school -which is pretty much a given.   Honors colleges are looking like a great option.[/quote]
