[quote=Anonymous]“I have a smart freshman in HS who gets good grades and has average ECs, and I don’t want to pay for/can’t afford full-pay for private school; what are some good options to consider?” Is this what you’re asking? If so, the answer is: 1. He’s a freshman. Come back in 18 months. 2. Basically any school that offers merit aid. That takes out the highest-ranked/most selective 30+ schools (which offer virtually no merit aid and are the ones that want the shiniest EC profiles), leaving you with literally hundreds of others. As your kid figures out whether he wants a big school or a small school, where he wants to be geographically, and what he wants to study, you’ll be able to narrow that list down.[/quote]
