[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you don't know if you can afford it, until they apply. Friends son applied EA to school that gave significant merit to a Mminimum ACT or SAT score. After acceptance, they allowed him to retake but still did not make the cut (friend hinted that he was sooo close). They could afford to pay the difference, but let him decide. He knew it wasn't the best financial choice compared to his close 2nd option, so decided on to attend #2 instead and save his parents $[/quote] Yes, but in the end if the parents are footing the bill it is not up to the DC to make the final decision. Michelle Singletary is right that colleges are wrong when they tell parents to let their kids make the decision. I let my DD take ownership of much of the process of choosing, but there were clear budgetary guidelines - no net price cost exceeding in-state Virginia costs. [/quote]
