[quote=Anonymous]My child is at a T50 state school that costs $35k a year. There are a number of state schools in the T50 list, which of course changes every year. And really, there is very little difference between schools that are ranked say 40-50 and 50-60. Even beyond that scope. Please don't buy into the hype that the ranking given by a newspaper is the end-all-be-all of a school's quality. So, to answer your question, yes we have the funds to pay for DC's tuition room and board at a T50 research university, because it's well below $80k (and obviously not everyone can even afford $35k a year, so not saying that's really cheap). Another thing, there are numerous merit scholarships out there that your DC should be looking into. They might not be huge, but $1k here and $5k there always helps. And if your child is qualified to get into a T50 or even T60 or T100 school, there will be merit scholarships out there they could be eligible for if you look for them.[/quote]
