[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My kids are only freshman but have been debating with several people.  If your kids get into UVA with in state tuition, do you go there versus a Top 15ish private, e.g., Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, etc.

It seems like it boils down to if you get Harvard, Yale,  or Princeton, you go there over UVA.  If you get lower tier ivies such as Penn, Cornell, you go to UVA because of cost difference.  My view is any ivy over UVA.  But I would not spend money on a Boston University, George Washington (I went there), NYU, etc. over UVA.

Thoughts?  What ivies would you go to over UVA?  Just HYP?  Georgetown and Northwestern?

I will have three kids in college at same time (for two years) so tuition is a factor.  [/quote]

Like others, I think you are dangling carrots in front of children who may not be able to get into these schools and that's cruel.  Do you have any idea what it takes to get into these schools?  UVA is a 4.47, ACT 33-34 and top ten percent of high school class.  Don't set your children up for failure![/quote]
