[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These cow-patch schools are not worth the dollars they are demanding.  However, it assuages egos for FOMO parents whose DC can't snare admits to higher-ranked colleges.[/quote]

This! Exactly![/quote]

So what are kids who "can't snare admits to higher-ranked colleges" supposed to do? Stay home? Fortunately Obama didn't throw in the towel when he was admitted to "cow-patch" Occidental. [/quote]

And then there are the high-performing kids who can't pay for top ten schools but don't want the large state flagship either.  Oberlin and its peers are heavily populated with those students.[/quote]

And kids who didn't get into better ranked slacs?  [/quote]

Did you not understand the point?[/quote]

What is the point?  That Oberlin is not an expensive school?[/quote]

The point is that there are families with high-performing kids that neither qualify for need-based aid, nor can pay for elite schools. For those families, it doesn’t matter whether their kids can get in or not, they can’t go.  There are a lot of students from such families the places like Oberlin, because they give merit aid to high performers.

Why is this so difficult to understand?[/quote]
