[quote=Anonymous]Look, none of you can advise OP whether the kid will get enough aid so stop trying. The question here is more general: should OP let the kid apply to a school that she really wants to go to when even if she gets in there's a good chance they can't afford it? The answer is clearly yes. Lay all the cards out for her -- the cost, what OP thinks she can pay, and how much financial aid they therefore will need. Tell her that if she wants to apply knowing that they might not get enough aid, great -- if it doesn't work out then the public school is also a great option. Be transparent, be honest, and leave it up to her. If in the end she gets in and you can't afford it, she'll survive. If this is the worst thing that ever happens to her, she's in good shape.
