[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start with a list and build out a spreadsheet, ours looks something like this: School, location, Avg SAT/ACT, Avg GPA, [b]Avg annual cost[/b], miles from home, Scattergram likely (Y/N), admission deadlines (ED, EA, RD), Acceptance Rate, Undergrad size[/quote] I didn't write down the average annual cost, but rather MY expected total cost. So, for schools for which we expected financial aid, I wrote out our Expected Family Contribution from the Net Price Calculator. For schools that offered merit where I though my child had a chance, I made note of typical merit awards in this section. There were no huge surprises in the end other than a larger than expected merit award from one college.[/quote]
