[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What family income gets that much aid these days?

I grew up poor and took the prestige school discounted with financial aid and student loans instead of full ride at a safety school. I think it was a good move career-wise but I did feel under prepared at HYPS and sometimes wonder what it would have been like to be one of the smarter kids at the less prestigious school instead of feeling like just squeaking by. It was a little rough on the self esteem. [/quote]

Truly consider this with your child, Op.

As another poster said, with the vandy full ride, your child may soar through At top of class and be a highly sought-after candidate for law school or job interviews, etc.
Yale/Harvard are nice, but unless your DC is sure it’s a good fit AND they will excel, what will make him stand out when it comes time for a firm or a law school to admit or interview students? If he’ll be st the top of class then great! But just make sure going to H or Y is worth it!
