[quote=Anonymous]I had twins apply last year as well. I recommend sitting down with them and having an overall discussion/explanation about the costs of college. Explain private vs state university costs, how early action at state schools may save you (as a family) massive amounts of money. Talk about going for scholarship money. Assuming your kids have a moral compass they may care about your family's overall financial situation and that may motivate them. Treat them like young adult partners in the process. You are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in them. If they are too immature to get that, then the solution is a gap year and work or community college. For you and your husband marriage counseling asap. this is a huge divide and your husband's stance shows massive lack of respect for your feelings and ethics..[/quote]
