re: If your child got a full ride scholarship to an SEC school....

i wasn't speaking solely on academics, so not as many as youd think. i would want my child to go to a big school with fun athletics to cheer for and plenty of partying as well as a good education.

i don't know much about acc schools at all, but id assume unc, virginia, VT, and maybe even GT and Duke would fit that bill. the acc is surely superior academically.

seems that Vandy is the clear #1 of the SEC.

annual tuition:
Vandy-37,005
Georgia-24,280
SCocks-22,908
Florida-20,622
Ten-18,086
Bama-18,000
Auburn-17,640
UK-15,769
Ark-13,888
Miss state-12,503
OleMis-12,468
LSU-11,929

If he/she doesn't get the scholarship, is your child worth the price difference?

What is the scholarship for? Athletics?

Vanderbilt or Florida.

I'm not sure as to the importance of this variable.

It's your child's future, you can't assume that one athletic program will help them turn pro afterwards. The end result should be which university a degree from would be more beneficial to your child.

However depending on athletic scholarship (since not all of them are full rides) it may change variables such as money I would have to pay.

Are we talking full ride athletic scholarship to any SEC school. Then what would my kid major in, what are my kids interest, do I get to pick these or will you tell me what they are.
How much money am I making?
How many kids do I have?

I need more variables to work with for this hypothetical to work for me.

You ask too many questions.

Well it is a hypothetical and I need to know everything. I do not wanna make wild assumptions without knowing what I have.
What if I say I want my kid in Vandy but only make enough for an LSU education?

Georgia and South Carolina look like the biggests rip-offs. LSU is way under valued.

only issue I have is Graduation rates, I know LSU is low

Well, I'm on full scholarship to Alabama, and I got offered a full scholarship to other SEC schools, so I chose Alabama.

If I could choose any SEC school, it'd obviously be Vanderbilt, as it has the best academic reputation and Nashville is a cool city. But Vanderbilt is very stingy with scholarship and basically doesn't even give full rides. I have a few friends on full scholarship at Duke who couldn't get more than a half scholarship at Vandy. It's ridiculous considering how rich the school is and the family was.
