[quote=Anonymous]If your family needs that much financial aid, it is important to focus on schools that pledge to meet a large share of their students' need. This school may not be one of those. Do you mind saying which it is? A lot depends on what kind of student your DD is and how the school approaches aid. Some schools meet 100% of need! but these tend to be the most selective. Other schools don't even approach meeting students' need, and these should be avoided. And some schools try to balance meeting need and offering merit based scholarships to try to entice better students who aren't quite so needy. It's really crappy though that the schools net price calculator gave you an estimated price that was so far off the mark. If I were you, I would call and ask why. But IMO,there is no way in hell you should borrow that kind of money for college. I hope she has some affordable options on the table?[/quote]
