“Miami- someone has graduated from an IVY with over 300K in loans?” - it is not what I said. I said that because some students attended college at Ivy’s, later on they had to have student loans and ended up with around $300, more or less. That what happened to students in my D’s medical school class. Most graduate with huge loans from medical schools, about 84%. However, good number of them having this debt because they spent family resources on college tuition. Given the fact that we are talking about the highest caliber students, I am sure that ALL in D’s medical school class had an option of attending a college of full tuition and higher Merit awards. But for a 17 y o, the eyes are hungrier than their stomach could handle, so to speak, and parents are soo proud that they simply do not want to disappoint the precious child. I am saying that NOBODY is pointing out to the consequences of such unwise decision and who is going to be paying for it - kid herself. Yes, many in D’s class regretted attending Ivy’s after they realized what they gotten themselves into, which was completely avoidable in their specific situation.
