[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's least expensive option was $17k at U Mary Washington (merit aid only, no need-based aid). So that would have been do-able with your budget. Less selective in-state universities will likely be your best option. Or, take advantage of the community college transfer option. Join the honors program at the CC to connect with more academically-focused students. [/quote] +1 NP, also donut hole. Mary Wash is DC’s safety — academically and financially — and fortunately she really likes it. Also applying to several private LACs that are a tier or two below what DC’s high stats could achieve in hopes of merit, mostly schools known for giving good merit. Plus one that is not but is a top choice if DC got lucky with aid. DC is a junior, so details of the plan may change, but finances won’t change so that’s the overall plan. [/quote]
