[quote=Anonymous]What does your kid really want? Sounds like your state flagship is a good school, but is it a good fit for your child? What do they want to major in, and does your state school have good programs in that area of study? How big of a school does your child want? I think it would be valuable to do some tours and visit some of these schools, see what the best fits actually are. And if that’s a T20, then do what you can to make it happen for them. Your kid can work during the summers, be an RA and contribute if they decide to go the private route. And echoing what other posters have pointed out, getting into T20s is honestly a lottery, so no guarantees there. Look outside of the rankings, too- your kid might just discover a great fit school, perfect for their major, that gives strong merit aid. A smart, driven kid will thrive in almost any good educational environment, as long as they’re happy. [/quote]
