[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, unless you're rolling in the dough, your kid's college list is probably going to consist of schools we can afford if she doesn't get financial aid;  schools we are willing to take out loans for;  schools that might give my kid financial aid, etc. 
I learned long ago that it's ridiculous to critique somebody else's list because you have no idea what their parameters are. My best friend's husband works at a university that has some kind of pool of schools that their kids can get a hefty discount at, so their list looked really weird to outsiders (Why is she applying to that school in Wisconsin?).  ANother neighbor had a kid who was using her husband's GI Bill, so they only looked at schools that matched GI BIll funds or something, so they had a weird list.  Some states let you pay instate tuition if you're military and stationed there while others do not.  A vet might have a hidden disability and some schools give a discount if your dad is a disabled vet. 
Honestly, unless someone is offering to show you their tax returns, you have no idea how they made their list.[/quote]
