[quote=Anonymous]Two strategies (really three): 1. Aim really high for need-based aid. The more prestigious the school, the more likely to give $$$. That is where suggestions like Davidson, Middlebury, Swarthmore come from. 2. Aim someplace lower where she might raise the average GPA. This is where the Seven Sisters, Hollins, Salem College (they have a women in health leadership emphasis), etc come in to play. 3. Realistically I would plan on attending the most prestigious in-state, unless she gets equivalent aid to an equivalent private. It's really a poor economic choice to spend out-of-state tuition on a school like Clemson, the Universities of California, CU Boulder, etc. Better to go in-state and then apply for full-ride graduate school in those locations. Firefighters have amazing pensions, though, so the family might have more money than you think (although MSWs are notorious for being $$$ and paying peanuts.)[/quote]
