[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have the conversation once. And then again. And again. And reinforce again. One thing we did was print out a list of popular colleges with prices in descending order. Drew a line separating the list into what we could and could not afford. DD looked at it several times but I remember the day that she paid attention and said, "wow! college xyz costs $zzz, that's 3x's the cost of college zyx. Eventually merit aid significantly reordered her list of possibles. But she didn't apply to any college that we couldn't have - perhaps - paid full fare.[/quote] Merit aid reordered the list, so how did you draw a line? Might merit aid have made some affordable that were below the line?[/quote]
