[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happened to me 25 years ago -- college promised me (basically) a merit scholarship and then didn't give it to me on my ED acceptance. I told them sorry, can't do it and got a full ride to a state school. It was on their administration for promising something they didn't deliver. but you should have known the price before applying ED.[/quote] Our DC was deferred ED from an Ivy. Got in in the spring but turned down the Ivy for a full ride and research money from a state school. We would have been full pay and can afford it but the funds have been growing at 30+% a year so even at half that rate, DC will have 600k+ to use for grad school or a house upon graduation. Full disclosure: I have two Ivy degrees with probably negative ROI but fortunately my spouse with no-name-school degrees makes a lot more than I do.[/quote] But that has nothing to do with OP’s situation.[/quote]
