[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child qualified for Bright Futures, would you encourage them to just go to a Florida school? Dd doesn't have a big desire to go elsewhere, but do we pretty much just apply to Florida schools and then a few others out of state in case of merit? What have you done in a similar situation, with Bright Futures or your own state's scenario for qualified students?[/quote]

No offense...but this website is DC Urban Moms.  I think we have heard of the "Bright Futures" term, but many of us don't know what you get for it and what it entails.

Please, explain what Bright Futures gets you and then perhaps we can give some advice.[/quote]

It's a free ride at Florida state colleges based on grades and SAT/ACT scores. The catch is admission at UF and FSU is difficult. She definitely would get in one of the other regional universities, and does have a shot at UF and FSU.[/quote]

Seems like your approach is about right.  [b]Is your kid a Top 10 candidate [/b]and would you qualify for lots of need-aid for those schools?  Maybe something like that is worth it, but don't let her apply unless you go to the net cost calculator and decide you would be willing to contribute whatever it spits out if your kid picks one of those schools.[/quote]

Not OP, but if her kid is a T10 candidate they should be able to get into UF, and especially FSU. Sort of like saying a T10 kid should be able to get into UVA, W&M, or Tech. There are nuances and things do go sideways sometimes, but the T10 admission should be the hardest. [/quote]
