[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar situation.. My DC picked UMD over Michigan and GTech. Didn’t make sense to spend extra money for a slightly higher ranking.. People forget that Michigan and UVA accept lower stats students from instate. Going to an out of state flagship for some perceived prestige based on rankings doesn’t justify the dollars. But yes some people will spend a ton for the sake of prestige.[/quote] Keep in mind that a lot of "lower stats" students are just kids who: Didn't have any paid math or ELA tutoring Didn't have paid SAT prep Didn't take the SATs multiple times May still believe that SATs measure what you know Don't have parents monitoring their apps[/quote]
