[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they just paid $500,000 and their kid is only going to Penn state. They might as well have saved the money and gone public school. [/quote] But are they going to Penn state for free? Did they get a scholarship? Did they get into a rather hard program? I'm new to private, but would be equally thrilled if DS ended up there or any top school. Now, if he only gets into Penn state without a scholarship, I'll be a little miffed, but no where near pissed or embarrassed. I think his education extends beyond college outcomes, I think it will set him up for success long term with the soft skills they focus on. Now- If he ends up as a failure to thrive kid, can't get a job, lives in my basement at 25- then yes, I'll be livid- but at DS and myself, not the school. [/quote]
