[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did her mom earn a degree? Do you have a sense of family income (for example the questbridge program is great, but has an income cutoff around 65k for a family of 4). You could look to see if there are any local college access support programs she is eligible for. If she was my kid, I would want her to apply to 2-3 instate options, at least one school that has a reputation for generous merit where she would be stronger than most applicants, and some private match schools where it would just depend on how much money they would give her. if she is low-income that would be a big factor in picking private colleges, because she would want schools that offer generous need-based aid.[/quote]

Her mom has a master's in social work, unfortunately  :lol:  j/k

Her mom doesn't work now (takes care of her elderly parents), father is a retired firefighter and I get the sense that maybe his pension may be affecting her financial aid opportunity?-- but, I thought those kinds of retirement accounts don't matter (?), and this is conjecture, so really, not sure.

Thanks for this info, good ideas![/quote]
