[quote=Anonymous]What I did was explain that we were able to pay $x for four years. Then I listed the state schools and private schools total cost of attendance for 4 years. I explained to my daughter that she could apply anywhere she wanted, but she needed to apply to several state schools in addition. And I told her that we weren’t going to pay over $x. So if she wanted to go to a more expensive school she needed to either get merit aid or apply for and win a huge number of scholarships. She applied to several private schools that had eye watering total costs of attendance. But she received huge merit scholarships to several of them and is attending a school next year that worked out as less expensive than any of the state schools. [/quote]
