[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think any parent considering a Big 3 (especially at the K level) needs to ask themselves...will I be OK or furious when my little Jimmy ends up at the University of Maryland.

If they are OK, then go ahead and spend the $$$s....if furious, they need to take a step back and realize that UMD (or the equivalent) is their more likely outcome...especially if you are not legacy at a top school and don't think your kid will be some great athlete.

Obviously, if you are rich and the tuition is just a rounding error..then who cares either way.[/quote]

Most people are spending the money for a better education, not to get their kids into a better college.[/quote]

they are spending money so their kid doesn’t have to work harder! so arguably yes, paying $$$ to have your kid grind is missing the point. You’re rich, you shouldn’t have to make your kid grind, ha ha. if I had the money (and my kid wasn’t on the spectrum) I’d surely buy our way into a beautiful campus, absence of severe behavioral issues, and an environment where you can pretend that it’s all about “the love of learning” all the while resting assured that they’d get Larlo into a T-50 SLAC at a minimum.
