[quote=Anonymous]We knew we would qualify for little to no financial aid, and we also knew we could afford about $30k per year out of pocket, so we didn't allow DC to consider any schools that don't offer merit aid to students with stats like DC's. That pretty much took every elite school off the table (since most don't offer merit aid and the ones that do offer it only to the tippy-top applicants, which DC was not). It was made perfectly clear to DC that the most important factor in his final decision would be cost of attendance. If the cost were much more than $30k, DC wouldn't be going there, period. As with any investment, choice of college should be made with the head, not the heart.[/quote]
