[quote=Anonymous]I didn't "forbid" my kids to apply to any school they wanted, but I made clear there were some I wouldn't pay for. One of our kids was a liberal arts type. We're in state VA. We figured she'd get into William & Mary, which she did. She also applied to a number of private liberal arts colleges: Carleton, Grinnell, Wesleyan, etc. She wanted to apply to Macalester, but we made clear that we wouldn't pull full freight for it over William & Mary so she scratched it. In the end she went to Grinnell, choosing it over Carleton after getting a lot of merit aid. We might have paid full price at Carleton if she were desperate to go there, but she wasn't at all. When you live in VA and can get into either UVA or W&M you really have to get into top 10 universities or LACs before it makes any sense to pay full price to go private. It's just nuts.[/quote]
