[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they use all the 900k to determine what you have available not just the 300k. I would do some net price calculators. We’re in a similar boat where our assets are higher than you would think based on our income because of an inheritance. We don’t qualify for any aid when I’ve put in info into net price calculators. We’re thinking of just not letting our kid apply early decision to any schools so we punt the decision on what we’re willing to pay to the spring and can consider cost. Whatever we choose for our oldest, we’ll do for our youngest + account for inflation. [/quote] Just make sure your student understands that you might say no to a college they want to attend if it costs too much. It is pretty easy to get an idea of what to expect, even the merit. If something is off the table let them know before they get their heart set on it and get in.[/quote]
