[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I always told DD not to worry about college costs[/b], but my junior Dd, 1400 SATs, 4.2 w gpa is not factoring the cost of attending college. The comparison of Va Tech (26k) vs bc (73k) is huge. I make enough that need based aid will be limited. I want her to graduate debt free. Between her 529 and other savings, we can handle Tech with minimal lifestyle changes. The private’s will not be attainable without significant changes (selling house)[/quote] You told her not to worry about college costs, but did you tell her that you have a budget and that she cannot exceed it? If you haven't told her that, you need to do so now. If you can pay a bit more than what VT costs (but not what BC costs), then consider looking at privates that offer merit aid. If you qualify for some need-based aid, then between that and the merit aid, you might be able to swing it.[/quote]
