[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t afford a top school for DD unless I spend my life savings, which I’m not willing to do. 
But I’m sad that she worked hard in high school and can’t apply to anything that will cost more than in state. 
Her friends are applying to ivy schools because they qualify for financial aid and they can afford to go there if they get in. 
DD could likely get into a top 20 school but wouldn’t get merit aid there. 
Just a vent. [/quote]
You can get 20k merit at a lot of great schools. Be a little more flexible with those so the choices are not just state schools. You can afford that…[b]Grinnell[/b], for instance, 20k merit minimum if you apply ED…[/quote]

People on this board and...Iowa are something else[/quote]
People on this board thing UVA and Michigan are Harvard.[/quote]

People on this board know, from personal experience, that successful people will be successful regardless of where they attended college. Some of the most successful people I know didn’t attend anywhere even close to UVA or Michigan and they have the life posters on here drool over.
