[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might be surprised by how much merit and need-based aid some private schools will offer. UVA and W&M are excellent schools, but lots of LACs — especially the less-trafficked ones, like Grinnell, St. Olaf, Whitman — will offer merit aid that can bring the cost down to match (or even beat) the in-state options. If you have a really academics-oriented student, that might end up being a more appealing option than some of the other in-state publics. For need-based aid, create an account and fill out the Net Price Calculator for a few schools (it saves your financial info, so you don't have to re-enter your data) to see what you might have available to you. https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/get-started/net-price-calculator[/quote] +1. My older kid went to a SLAC. Kenyon, Oberlin, Macalaster, Grinnell and St. Olaf got the price down to around WM cost. Wooster got it below. Consider Midwestern SLACs[/quote]
