[quote=Anonymous]The "Direct Charges" total at Brown right now is $93,164, so every full-pay family is sending roughly four times that amount. (Obviously, side conversation to be had about how many of the students are actually full-pay, but the point is that that's the price tag Brown has laid out.) Are you planning to donate more than that? Probably not. I would focus, instead, on setting aside that money in a 529 (or other investment accounts, once you hit your contribution limit on the 529) so that in a decade when your kid is applying to schools you have enough that they can ED to the best-fitting school for them. That will give your family far more options than a hypothetical leg up (which might not even exist at that point) at a single school.[/quote]
