[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Richmond a CTCL school?[/quote]

Nope.  It’s too good and too selective to qualify for inclusion.  Those schools are for losers who can’t get into schools far lower ranked than 18.  [/quote]

More often it's kids who want to go to a LAC but need merit aid to afford it.  [/quote]

Right? It's not complicated. Many of the schools ranked far lower than 18 do not offer merit aid. For a kid with parents who can afford in-state tuition only and wants a LAC, then CTCLs are the way to go.

Good friend with son who has decided to go the T15-30 LAC route. He is full pay and an outstanding student, but has had an emotionally challenging HS experience. He came to his parents this summer, said that he liked 5 schools in the T15+ tier, and indicated that attending one of those schools may be a better fit for him than trying to go Ivy/Little Ivy (school was encouraging him to consider those). One of the five has been in touch a number of times since his visit and a second one a few times. Mature decision - his parents are relieved. [/quote]
