[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for an organization that helps low-income students go to college.  In the past few years we have definitely seen that there are fewer slots for our students at some of our previously reliable schools (particularly true at good but not elite SLACs).  Our more forthright admissions reps, as well as some enrollment managers we know, have told us that schools are trying to get more full pays-particularly, as the pp said, for students on the bubble.  A superstar who can't pay may still get in over a solid student who can, but among those middling students schools are looking for the money.[/quote]Your candor is much appreciated.  We are trying to decide whether to live on one salary and use the other to pay the full undergrad tuition and outside expenses at the college of choice ASSUMING our child gets in.  We pay full high school tuition now at great sacrifice, and college would add another $20,000 approximately.  Paying high school was a huge stretch but DC is such a great kid and has put forth so much effort, I guess we would pay college.  For us, the high school tuition was a good investment as we didn't have a quality public in our area.[/quote]
