[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is still deciding. They are upset because their top two schools did not give any merit, so we said they need to decide between the other schools. They have other options that we feel are good but a little less selective. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? We have two younger children and just can’t justify an extra $100k for these schools. We feel like we would have to spend the same amount on their siblings. [/quote]

Yes - we are turning down Ivy for an out of state public school. Not as prestigious as Ivy, but public has smaller class size and better career placement opportunities. Also public less $$$. Total of $145K for public vs $332K for Ivy. It was a no brainer[/quote]

Public with smaller class size than an Ivy and better placement? And 35k a year oos? Are you for real?[/quote]

Ivies are not great at every subject, you know. There are many schools ranked above them for many specific areas. Sometimes a kid knows exactly what he wants to do and can tell when a school won't help him get there.[/quote]

Public universities are not known for small classes you know or better placement [/quote]
