[quote=Anonymous]My daughter slacked off and didn't apply to as many schools as she should've (and as I advised). So, she's in a tough position. The two OOS that she's interested in cost way too much (Rutgers: $26500/year, OOP; UNC-Charlotte; not sure but probably somewhere in the range of $15000/year OOP).

She doesn't qualify for any grant money, is a B student so no university scholarships and she has yet to apply for an independent scholarship.

Last two schools to hear from are Drexel (pretty sure it's gonna cost too much) and UMD-CP. UMD is in-state so definitely a great option, but that's if she gets in. With a 3.0 and 1800 SAT score (no extra-curriculars) that might be pushing it.

Not really sure what I'm looking for here. Just feeling a little depressed that she didn't take the initiative to apply to more schools and upset with myself for not pushing her harder to apply to more schools. I honestly don't think I can stomach her living at home while she goes to community college for a year (she's turned into the sulky teenager from hell).

Not really sure what to do. If we completely stretch our budgets to the limits, we can afford UNC-Charlotte, but I'm not even sure if that school is worth the sacrifice. [/quote]
