[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so mysterious about what schools their kid selected?[/quote}  Not sure

[quote=Anonymous]My kid got into Tulane (with some merit $) and Boston U but chose UVM (also w merit and a significantly lower cost of attendance). It's been a great decision, and that's not even with considering what life must have been like at Tulane during a hurricane evacuation as a brand new freshman a couple of years ago

Once my kid established that Burlington met their definition of being a city where there were things to do other than be on campus, the only hard part of the decision was getting over my own foolish pride

Go to a place where you want to be, that affords opportunities for in-depth learning experiences in your chosen area, and the rankings are meaningless[/quote]

DD got into CMU, UNC and W&M.  While CMU provided some merit to near in-state, she went with her heart and is a happy freshman at W&M.  We let her decide and she  considered them all in earnest. Seeing the advantages of each, but she had lost her heart to only one campus truly. [/quote]
