[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I viewed the CDS for a school, and it said that their average award for "non-need" aid is $19,000. Their tuition is $74,000.

[b]That's still a lot. I wish we could be full pay, but we can't.[/b]

What's the best way to find schools that award more? I don't think we'll qualify for need-based aid. I'm already looking for schools where kid's grade and scores would be the top 25% of admitted students.

Then that's not the right school for you. Do not apply to schools that you know you will not be able to pay. [/quote]

Well you can do it but your kid needs to understand that unless they come back with some good merit/scholarship/grants offer, it will likely not be happening.  However, it does not hurt to give it a whirl if your kid really likes the college.

We had some unexpected surprises of high tuitions dropping down to in-state levels due to those factors.

Our kid is your average high stat good student, but not tippy toppy by any means.[/quote]
