lmao. [b]only people whose kids can't get into or afford these colleges ever say crap like this[/b].[/quote]

LMAO!!  Only a fool that wasted money on sub-par ivies would say crap like this..[/quote]

DP. I’d say only a fool would use a term such as sub par ivy.[/quote]

I can't be a fool because I got money in my pocket.  You on the other hand gave it to a "sub-par" ivy.  As they say..A fool and his money are soon parted..  Mine and me ain't parted yet, got it?[/quote]

+1 Lol[/quote]

+1 The only people who say these things are those who got rejected from non-HYP ivies or were not even qualified enough to apply. They are bitter and try to make themselves feel better. No one in their right minds would choose  UVA over a non-HYP ivy if they could afford the ivy.[b] And if they genuinely could not afford it, then most likely they would qualify for need-based aid at the ivies.

HAHAHA!  Have you never heard of donut hole families?  We make so much that FAFSA gives us only the minimum loan amount per child ($5500 first year), period.  And, no we cannot afford HYP in after-tax dollars.  AT 66,000+ a year (including travel expenses), we have to make $120,000 or so to afford the "per year" just for one child.  We have three in the Virginia system.  That would mean we have to make $360K a year if they were to go to harvard in pre-tax dollars.  For four years that would be  $1,340,000 on top of regular living costs to afford Ivy.  As most kids are doing, one of our children is taking five years to graduate.  So throw in another $120K for good measure, meaning it would cost us 1 1/2 million to send three kids through private.  So when it came down to an ivy, NYU or any private where child would have to be flown versus UVA, UVA wins at $26K a year (the price when we entered). [b] Thank the Lord for Virginia colleges.  [/b]Yes, we're saving but that's for grad school.  The HHI to qualify for NYU or Harvard's free tuition plan is so low we would never qualify ($112 - 125K).[/quote]

One of those, huh? Another reason to avoid VA state schools.

+1 beyond stupid. thank god for people like this though, they make the elite college admissions process easier for the rest of us haha. [/quote]
