[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not UVA but here in Texas, I know a lot of Asian parents whose kids have made it to an Ivy and elect to send their kids to UT Austin for engineering, business and Computer Science. They see it as a better value. They apply to the Ivy, mostly for bragging rights and take even more pride in bragging about how clever they are for turning the Ivy down[/quote] Good strategy. It gives the kid a mental boost/confidence - "I am good enough to go to an Ivy but I choose to go to this state school". For most things in life, confidence is half the battle won anyways.. They prob. leverage the savings later for grad school. Having said that, UT Austin is nothing to sneeze at. It's at the same level as UVA, Tech, UIUC, Georgia Tech and other such solid schools. Their business school is supposedly pretty good as well and their hiring profile is also really good.[/quote] Nice try.[/quote]
