[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is helpful.  Thank you so far!  Are any of you from VA?  The reason I ask is, at least to me, none of the schools mentioned so far on this thread would be worth turning down one of the top VA schools for.   I think it would be hard to justify paying any more for one of these OOS schools if DC could get into a good state school, even if DC "liked" the OOS school better.  My DC is still a junior.  I am just trying to figure out how to set expectations (eg, don't get your heart set on Notre Dame or Middlebury, or whatever, because you aren't likely to qualify for enough merit aid to make it worthwhile to go out of state).  I am not even sure how many OOS schools to take DC to visit given our good in state options.[/quote]

Yep, this. We "need" merit aid to even consider private college. No merit aid, no enrollment, it's that simple. We will qualify for some financial aid, but not enough to induce us to opt for private in the absence of additional merit aid.[/quote]
