[quote=Anonymous]My kid with similar stats but perhaps a few more activities (not a joiner but had sustained interest/talent in a notable one throughout school) had no problem getting acceptances, but merit aid from privates did not bring the COA close enough to state school tuition to make it doable for us. Aid at private schools was $20-$25K/year. My kid may have been eligible for more if the grades had been more in line with the ACT score. I'd take a very close look at the UC and CS schools just to make sure she has her bases covered if the same happens to her. My kid is happily headed to a state school despite more "prestigious" LAC acceptances.[/quote]
