[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I’m rich and my kid truly isn’t too bright, I’d send them to a mediocre private college over a mediocre public university any day of the week. [/quote] You just stated the reason for 90% of America’s private colleges. Rich kids who aren’t that smart.[/quote] Not true. I just went through this process with a "full pay" kid. The majority of kids at most private colleges are not paying sticker price. The kids with good qualifications are getting merit aid, even if they don't qualify for financial aid. There are a subset of rich kids who barely squeaked by for admission and are truly full pay, but they're generally a minority at any national university. There are a small handful of private colleges that seem to cater to the rich kid with lower stats, and that's fine, that's their niche, but its definitely not true of the vast majority of private universities.
