[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents who blew their wad on ED to Tulane with a 3.3/1260/27 will be the ones with regrets when their kid ends up [b]at the same grad/law/business school[/b] as your kid from Cheaperthan U and you're still sitting on a fat pile.[/quote]

I hate this analogy...so everyone, let's stop using it.  Grad school is often a complete waste of money and only 35% of college graduates pursue it.

Let's stick to the better script...which is plenty of people achieve from any school.[/quote]

First of all, nerd, 35% is a lot. But OK, how about a different analogy? The OP's kid graduates from their cheap school and ends up working in a cubicle next to one of those average stat kids whose parents bought their way into Tulane ED. Who's going to have regret then?

I worked alongside a Vandy grad at my first job out of a very average university. He mentioned it at least once a day just like the guy in The Office would bring up Cornell. My response was always the same: "We work the same job at the same company."[/quote]

A loser at Vandy that has the same job as an over achieving State kid is about right. Every top school has losers. And they end up having coworkers that over achieved at some no name state school….

I always wind up pitying people like your coworker.  They are so very insecure and can't stand the fact that they wound up in the same place as someone who didn't spend a fortune on college.  [/quote][/quote]
