For those parents who have BTDT, please tell me it was worth it?

I totally agree. We applied to several and it made me recognize how much privledge you have to have to be able to just apply. The cost, various test requirements, time for tours and testing, and just the number of details in general. We did it, but we are two working professionals with the income and bandwidth to actually do it.

I put more effort into my kids' applications than I did for my law school applications, and I went to a top-ranked law school. It was brutal. We probably won't get in b/c we're not applying for a major entry year. We just had to apply b/c kid needs more and outside supplementation isn't enough. I am hopeful that the process will be easier next time around but boy was it not fun.
