I’m not convinced it would be worth the loans. But I’m more concerned about Haas. It’s very competitive to get in there - we know quite a few kids who are very good students who didn’t get in. Since you son needs the athletic bump to just get into UCB in the first place, I think this is a really big concern. I wouldn’t go ahead with sending him to UCB unless you’re ok with him not getting into the business school. After two years at UCB, the kids I know who didn’t get into Haas had the choice of settling for a different major or transferring (and it’s pretty late in the game to do that, so most just stay and get a different degree). I also think that $60K in loans would be a large burden for a young adult.
