[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bad news is that life is terribly unfair. The good news is the military is hiring & their education benefits are outstanding. So quit the I-live-in-McLean-and-only-make-$200k pouting & get your kid to start doing 200 push-ups per day. [/quote]

Yup, life is terribly unfair.  You can choose to live your life feeling sorry for yourself or go into debt to try to do what you think you deserve or you can accept that, and forge the best possible path.  
And the good news is your kid with the stats/resume for an elite/T25 university will get into plenty of your state schools, often the honors programs, and plenty of schools in the 40-80 range that give excellent merit.  So if you apply accordingly, your kid will have excellent places to go that cost the same or less than instate. [/quote]

The only people mad about this are people who are educationally “downwardly mobile.” They can’t afford for their kids what their parents afforded for them, AKA “the best school you can get into.” For most of us, state flagship was always the ceiling. [/quote]
