“interested in your response.” We don’t have all the facts- including the real wealth of the family (maybe OOS at 60,000 is truly no big deal), what other schools would have been okay as far as her dad was concerned, was she forced to apply to UCB, what actually was said before applications went out and what is being said now , etc. It is an unusual thread because most times it is the opposite of this kind of thing when somebody posts-kid wants to go to the more expensive school and is complaining that the parent won’t finance it. I hoped initially that the thread was a joke because of what was being described- you have a great instate option that you prefer and a parent seems to be forcing you to go to a school you don’t really want to go to, at twice the price. But apparently not. All the best at UCB. Go Bears!
