[quote=Anonymous]OP, another issue financially is that your kids should not be encouraged to go to the same school. First, there's no guarantee they will both get into the same school, and second, there's no guarantee that schools will be equally good for both their interests and personalities. And third, you may be looking at mix-and-match in terms of balancing the schools that are the right fit for each child as an individual with those that are the right fit for your family as a whole financially. You will need to target in advance the schools that are affordable enough in their own right with no financial aid, those that are doable if there's merit aid, and those that are doable if there's any financial aid (or a blend of all three). If you or your kids lock yourselves into thinking that they have to go to the same school, you're not going to have the full amount of flexibility to play with, especially if one is a super high-flyer academically and might earn full rides or significant merit aid somewhere and the other might not.[/quote]
