[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your oldest going to be a national merit semifinalist?  If so, she can qualify for 50% off tuition at USC.

Can one of you switch jobs to one that pays higher (e.g., from government lawyer to a law firm)?

Do you have any well-off parents who can help pay tuition or "loan" tuition money to your kids?[/quote]

She probably will, has gotten near perfect scores on the PSAT every year so far (10th grader).

We're both feds, wouldn't really be able to get any jobs that pay higher elsewhere.

DH's parents have passed, mine are definitely in no position to help pay tuition.[/quote]

If she's a NMF she will get a FULL RIDE at Alabama. There tons of really really smart ivy level kids there taking advantage of their huge merit scholarships and saving their $ for med school, law school, etc.
Re USC (southern California) you still have to get in. And COA is $95k/year. Minus $35k (half off tuition) still $60k year x 4 + $240k, plus annual increases.
