[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents weren’t set on a brand name, but they did assume that since my kids have high stats and good extracurriculars, pretty much any school would of course be accepting them [b]and throwing money at them[/b]. [/quote] Those with parents who have this delusion, were you low income back in your day and so got a lot of financial aid? It definitely wasn't my experience as a middle class family in the 80s that colleges would be throwing money at me. In fact, I applied to a range of private, OOS public, in-state public, was accepted everywhere, and while I got some scholarship money at all the privates it was a drop in the bucket and so I went in-state. My parents are now surprised that DD is going to a private school for the same cost as DS is at an in-state public U. The pricing/merit aid game is different now, as long as you are open to a variety of schools.[/quote]
