[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know this OP? Weird. [/quote]

I have a teenager and the topic of college tuition and inability to pay tuition is a big topic.

Actually many people talk about having multiple kids starting college.

Look at these boards even, how many posters mention looking for merit aid and parents having to take out loans for private university.[/quote]

OP - A dad of a HS student recently posted in a neighborhood FB group asking if $60k for out of state is “the real cost or just a ceiling of what can be charged” and seemed sincerely surprised to learn about Naviance, estimating cost of attendance, or that many people’s recent and current college students got better aid packages out of state. This is an educated professional couple in N Arlington. I know not everyone tries to get every possible advantage with test prep, essay writing help, extracurriculars and volunteering positions curated for the application- but it seems kids whose parents wake up their sophomore year and say “I suppose we should visit some colleges” are disadvantaged.
