[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the UVA poster and I’m being misunderstood. I’m not saying UVA is the be all and end all. Not at all. What I’m really saying is that NO college is the be all and end all when you have to compromise your financial future to make it happen. [/quote] +1. Go where you can afford. If you cannot get into your state flagship (UVA/VaTEch) then look at other states schools, privates that offer merit, OOS schools that over merit, etc. Find the right fit for the right price. No school is worth $80K/year unless you have it saved and were still saving correctly for retirement, etc. Someone with stats for a top 25 school can find many many options just a tier or two below that will be same as in-state or many times even cheaper. If you don't have $320K+ saved for college go that route and your kid will be further ahead without any debt/minimal debt[/quote]
