You have a kid who has good admission chances at a variety of schools, but the full pay factor may have obscured another possibility: what schools would give your kid a full scholarship? Those are the places that will really want him, and where he will receive the special attention that guarantees he gets the most out of his college experience. Not all places that would scholarship him are lower ranked or less selective, either. Try investigating that angle, juat to see what you get. Better for your kid to be valued than just to be able to get in.
This is something to think about. We can afford full pay, and my kid had great options (including T10 and WASP), but he chose a T25 school that offered a named scholarship with lots of perks in the end. The place has great grad school exmission in his chosen major.
Nothing beats feeling wanted . . . . .
Parents weren't upset about all that $ saved either!
