[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell families paying big bucks for their kids to end up at Michigan (no offense to the Maize and Blue).  Wouldn't it be cheaper just to move to Michigan and matriculate as an in-state student vs. $390,000 ($30,000 x 13 years of private schooling).[/quote]

Cheaper?  I don't know.  COL is cheaper but the salaraies and job secuirty there don't compare.    But I DO know that a lot of DMV kids (public and private) have traditionally attended Michigan and have done well.  My earlier point is that if a parent is paying $390,000 with the sole hope that their  DC is admitted to an HYP....let me just say that I am not so sure that is an ace strategy either. Honestly, if I wanted my kid to have a better chance at being admitted at an HYP, I [b]would[/b] move to Michigan.  At my private HS in Michigan, there were not 20+ people applying to a single Ivy from my class.  There were about 10 of us applying to all the Ivies combined.  All 5 of us (including me) were accepted at an Ivy.  Only one attended though. 5 of us went to Michigan, one to Stanford, one to Northwestern and 2 to U Chicago. [/quote]
