[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the helpful advice. We have a budget and did take some schools off child’s list because it was outside budget and price calculator didn’t bring it within budget. Should I still have them apply and hope for a miracle or continue to keep it off the list? For example, a few were over $25k over budget, and OOS publics so unlikely to have huge merit, and we don’t qualify for aid.[/quote] Hoping for a miracle is rarely a sound strategy so I would keep those schools off the list. From our experience, the amount of aid very rarely exceeds what is shown by the available data/net price calculator, and is not infrequently less unless your kid has a hook that makes the school really want them. But if you want to throw a Hail Mary, go ahead. Just make sure your kid realizes what a long shot it is.[/quote]
