[quote=Anonymous]My kids are younger, but my older nieces and nephews are going through the process of college visits/applications. One niece got into a good, private university on early decision. Acceptances/rejections for the states schools to which she applied aren't in yet. Her parents kept mentioning [i]over and over[/i] during the holiday that they were delighted that she was accepted at this school but are really hoping she decides on one of the state schools b/c of the expense. (The private is twice the price.) Fortunately, the state school system is pretty good, but I'm wondering if you can't afford a private (or reluctant or unwilling to pay), then why allow your kid to apply to these schools? Why not have a frank discussion about the cost realities b/f visits and applications? This kid like most isn't going to get some phenomenal scholarship and getting financial aid is pretty dubious since she probably wouldn't qualify.[/quote]
