Sara wants to be a business major. Sara also plays soccer. Sara’s parents make 250,000 a year. Sara doesn’t qualify for much aid. Sara’s parents can help with the cost. However, Sara’s parents also want to retire at some point. In order to do this, Sara’s parents try to find ways to minimize cost while achieving the same outcome for their kid. Sara doesn’t want to start her post college life in massive debt.
Sara has 5 offers from various schools that are similarly respected. The soccer programs range from Top tier to bottom tier.
What should Sara do?
A. Pick the school that has the lit soccer (1-100) program but requires her to get a 100,000 dollar loan
B. Pick the school that has the decent soccer program(100-200) but requires her to get a 50,000 dollar loan
C. Pick the school that has a bottom tier soccer program (200-300) but pays in full.

No. I said rule out the clearly inferior clubs and then compare FCV (who the OP posited was the best) to the other three clubs yet to be ruled out. That’s what I said. Quit assuming and extrapolating based on your personal bias and lack of facts. You see, this is the quality of a GW degree. Arrogance and lack of critical thinking skills.

Did you actually read my post? Apparently you didn’t go to college. Read it again. S L O W.
Some poster on here thinks the most important factor to consider is the ranking of the soccer program and I beg to differ.
Don't know if that was you or another of the charmers on here but who cares. I stand by my opinion.
No. I said the exact opposite. I didn't even mention soccer. I said if my kid wanted to study engineering my first choice would be Tech. Period. Regardless of soccer. Furthermore, I'd pay the tuition (after 30% discount in the PP hypothetical scenario) over a free ride to GW.. Avg. starting salary out of Tech is higher, especially for engineers. When you add in the fact that Tech is an ACC school and my kid could play in that conference and get to go to big time college Football and Bball games and get to enjoy a full university experience (vs. that which GW offers), do real, meaningful research projects that make a difference (like Flint water issues), and get to experience the outdoors and nature and beauty of Tech, vs. getting car-jacked in DC, it is a no brainer if you can afford 70% of the tuition (which I can). BTW - you didn't express and opinion, you simply made a non-sensical statement about studying engineering a G'town (which no one said you could do). So while I may be a charmer, you're simply a moron.
Tech would be your first choice for engineering? What about MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, GT?
Getting car jacked in Georgetown?
This is some FCV mom nonsense. Keep trying to justify your poor life decisions.
We weren’t talking about other schools. Go back and re-read the posts. Yes MIT and Stanford, etc. are superior. No one’s debating that fool. Yes, you’re much more likely to get carjacked in DC than in Blacksburg. Even in Georgetown. Not sure how you don’t know that, but understand that you’re having trouble following reality. That’s ok, low IQ people can post here too.
Anyhow, how many girls have Loudoun, Metro U, VDA, and BRYC combined placed at GW or G’town or VT in the past 4 years? Now compare Arlington, McLean, and FCV. Let’s see the facts. BTW, I dislike FCV, but do acknowledge their track record with a very narrow, selected slice of their female paying customers. The rest of their program is a joke and is used to subsidize a small few coaches that do a nice job for one girls team per older age group. It is a boutique club for top level girls in NOVA. Kind of liking working out at TSJ and paying $20 for a poorly made hamburger is “boutique”. A small set of people will pay for this keeping over the Jones status. CZ knows this and takes advantage of it, but at the same time does the work to help those select few get landed at D1 schools. It is not one or the other. It is both. For most, FCV is a joke, but for the select, rich, privileged few it is worth it.
PP getting mad bc people are challenging his narrow narrative. It’s like saying who has the best burger between McDonald’s, Taco Bell and papa johns and when someone says five guys the response is “I wasn’t talking about five guys. So see McDonald’s has the best burgers in the world, told you so”

Yes, when it comes to Engineering you’re right, it isn’t close. No one knows Georgetown, other than John Thompson, Patrick Ewing and a Rob Lowe and Demi Moore movie from the 80’s. But for Law, Business, PPolicy, of course G’town is much better recognized.
Uh....ummmmmm....head scratch.....throat clear.....dumbfounded look....

Track record of Arlington, McClean and FCV parents socioeconomic status going to two private schools and one public school versus others? How asinine.
