[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I tell parents to have their children apply to 20 schools that all fall in a similar category. I did this with each of my kids (pissed off our FCPS guidance department) but the results were insane. Oldest. Applied broadly and ended up at Wellesley which ended up costing us 10K a year less than in-state at UVA. She was fine with a women's college fwiw Second, applied broadly and landed a full ride at Wash U. Also, fine with it (wanted STEM and though hopkins and CMU were a fit. Oddly got less money at Tech or "lesser" schools fwiw). We negotiated among these schools and Wash U basically bit itself up to a full ride. Third -- pulled a full ride at Malacaster. same story. [/quote] PP, can you say more about this? Did you negotiate price among the schools that had offered admission to your kids once they were in? Did you pick the top school and go back to them with a request for more aid based on what was offered elsewhere? [/quote]
