[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from Virginia to Missouri a few years ago, and now DD (current junior) is unhappy with her in state college options. 
We cannot afford to pay out of state tuition. We have done some research and it looks like we will not qualify for financial assistance. 
Is there a solution to this? Besides going into debt for DD?  Every time we talk about college she ends up in tears. 
Please help! 
4.1 GPA and SAT 1350 but she’s planning to take it again.

OP - unless your DD gets a really big scholarship out of state, she may need to explore in state options or schools that offer a lot of reduced tuition to Missouri residents. My DS has similar stats, higher SAT and the best he could get was 10K/yr at University of Pittsburgh. It's still going to cost us upwards of 50K/yr when we factor in all of the costs.

Also, a lot of the schools offering the kind of scholarships that your DD would need may not provide the educational quality of Honors at Mizzou.
