[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are full pay, Would you pay full price for
Emory
BC
UMiami
Villanova
GWU
….going down the rankings list, LMU?
Is there a cutoff for private colleges? Where you tell your kid to just take merit elsewhere, or go in state? What is your cutoff, or are you full pay so you will full pay anyplace ?

(If you are not full pay, and need FA, instate, or merit, please don’t respond, your considerations are different)

We don't "need" in-state, can afford full pay, but our cutoff is "the school must be significantly better than Virginia Tech if we're going to pay more than VT in-state". Emory might fit the bill (which doesn't matter because DS does not want to go to Emory) but none of the others. Especially GWU, lol hell no.[/quote]
"Significantly" is doing a lot of work there. Objectively, many people would argue that any of these schools are better than Virginia Tech. 
But, sure, if my kid gets into VT and also gets into Ole Miss  or similar -- then he's going to VT, no question.[/quote]

Well yeah, a school has to be significantly better if we're going to pay significantly more for it. Maybe people think BC and Villanova are better than VT in terms of prestige/name recognition but I'm not sure the education at either place is $200,000 better. GWU, definitely not. Miami, doesn't matter because my kid hates heat and humidity.
