[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we're using the estimated financial aid calculators to run estimates and figure out which schools are affordable for our family and which ones aren't. If we're not sure that a school will be affordable, we're applying regular decision or early action and then waiting to see what they say about financial aid. I've got a bottom line of what I am willing to pay for school, and my kids are aware of it. If they want a school more expensive then what I am willing to pay, then they have to take the loans or otherwise figure out how to pay for it. My bottom line is relatively generous, but it quickly eliinated several schools. Let your daughter apply. Then compare prices after you have her financial aid offers in hand. Require that she apply to some schools that are financial safeties. [/quote]
