[quote=Anonymous]Back in the day, I applied to colleges where I would be "over-qualified" with the thought that they would want me more and therefore offer more aid, my parents not being able to afford anything. Ultimately, I got a full tuition scholarship and financed the room/board by loans and work, and never going off on Spring break. It worked. For my own DC, we are putting $1k per month per child into the MD529 program and will pay for the rest out of pocket. We are paying $70k (total) per annum for the two of them for private school, so college itself will actually be less expensive than current tuition + 529 payment. [/quote]
