[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been at a lot of holiday events lately that were still canceled last year. I'm really amazed at how many fellow parents have no clue what the schools their kids applied to cost and whether those schools give merit awards. (99% of the people in our circles wouldn't qualify for financial aid at any but the most generous Ivy schools.) Did you just have your student apply to schools blind, with no info on whether you'd be able to afford to send them there? Did you make sure that at least one school would be affordable given your savings and ability to cash flow? Are you willing to bite the bullet and borrow hundreds of thousands if not?[/quote] Had no idea how much schools cost that my kids applied to. Didn’t care. They knew we’d pay for them to go to where they want just like my parents did for me and my grandparents did for my parents. College choice shouldn’t be limited by finances. [/quote]
