[quote=Anonymous]This happened with my sister and BIL twice. The sister used to be an accountant and the father is still a doctor. Their first child got into UChicago and off of the Duke waitlist but the parents only told her that spring that they wouldn't pay for those schools (they might have stretched it had she gotten into Stanford). She was incredibly distraught despite having an excellent in-state option in UNC since she only found out on April after her acceptances. She ended up taking an impromptu gap year as an au pair in Europe and graduated from UNC last spring. Their second-born, my nephew, was in the same boat and they never shared their conversation with their daughter and the kids attended public boarding schools (a little odd that the siblings didn't discuss it, but they also didn't see much of each other). He got into JHU but had to choose between Oberlin and Case Western (and chose Case). He did take it better than his sister so he must have known, but I still wonder why he was led on by his parents. The third child only applies to in-state and OOS publics and privates with merit aid and ended up at Rhodes.[/quote]
