[quote=Anonymous]All students should listen to their parents on budget. Parents should let the child know early if there are either budget restrictions or certain colleges you will not pay for over the in-state options. We had no budget but were clear very early regarding the list of private schools we would invest in outside of College of William Mary and Uva. If those had been "reaches" they would have applied to easier in-state options as backups. Outside of those parameters, why not let them pick where to apply and then where to attend, among all acceptances? We did not offer other advice and we had no counselor outside the school's counseling office. They advised on a balanced list based on the school's Scoir data. My parent had a tight budget and I knew it early. As a high need family I got a lot of aid at T10 even decades ago. I would have qualified for free these days. [/quote]
