[quote=Anonymous] In the past few years I’ve known people who chose the following, so yes it happens. Usually financial reasons but don’t discount following your child’s gut. Sounds like your child will be successful wherever they go. No doubt Ivies have the prestige advantage but good for her for not focusing on just prestige. -UVA over Penn (OOS sports recruit, they could afford full pay but liked UVA better and scholarship) -UVA (OOS) over Northwestern -UMich over Penn (semi-local to Penn and wanted out of PA) -Pitt over Penn (basically full scholarship to Pitt) -Georgia Tech over 2 T20s, again scholarship -UNC (OOS) over Harvard (sport scholarship) -UMich (in-state) over CMU [/quote]
