[quote=Anonymous]This is just dumb. My son had his heart set on UVA and despite and unweighted 3.9 and a full college semester of APs under his belt, he didn’t get in. He instead went to NOVA and due to his APs only had to do 3 semesters to get his AA for which he got a 4.0. He then used the 4th semester to move and work at a ski resort in Utah. He will head to UVA this fall (guaranteed admissions). He has saved so much money not only will he graduate debt free, we will be able to use the the money he didn’t touch in his 529 for his younger brother . We paid NOVA out of pocket, so that gave us more growth, plus another 2 years of contributions. Plus his work in Utah came with free employee housing, some free meals, and a free ski pass to multiple resorts. Wayyy smarter than insane amounts of debt or plundering retirement You are allowing your daughter to make an extremely stupid move. Have you always made poor financial decisions or just when it involves your kids?[/quote]
