[quote=Anonymous]" Why out of state publics but not private? I'm assuming they're cheaper? Am I wrong?" In a word, Yes, out of state publics are often not cheaper than privates. With your description of the student, the privates he would apply to would have high sticker prices and then give lots of merit aid. If he has the 75th percentile stats of the private, they will know he will be getting into a SUNY or three. They also know that no one is going to pay 2X the SUNY price to go to a lower second/third tier NY private. We are currently paying less than 45% of the sticker price of just such a school in NJ. We got similar offers from NY privates. I think the first thing we need to know to suggest schools is where in NY are we talking about? If the student grew up on Long Island or in the city, the answers will be very different from Oswego or Irondequoit.[/quote]
