[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. We went through the shock last year. We had pay for this, not this blah blah And after our kid got into an Ivy and we did the tour and all of the admitted student days, we are now paying the $90k for the Ivy. It was fit. [/quote] +1 as state school kid--the response has been eye-opening. Kid being offered internships that were formally said to be 'full'. The reaction of recruiters. The reaction of people when asked where he goes to college. Very different from our kid that attends a state flagship. Kid is not in a STEM field. I do think the connections are important for some fields/majors. I was STEM. I also think after the first job it really doesn't matter anymore--if you get your foot in the door somewhere it becomes about your work - not your alma mater. But- we took into account 'fit'. This kid did not fit with the public in-state schools--really did not want big or football/fratty, etc. and the location was key too.[/quote]
