My son is a senior and we have been very upfront about our budget and limitations for college funding.  He has only applied to state schools and schools where he might receive merit aid.  (We don't qualify for need based aid.)  One of those latter schools is a stretch for merit aid and he understands that if he gets in there with no aid, he cannot go.

So to answer your question, we have not looked into or let him apply to schools we cannot afford.[/quote]

Not true. If you apply early decision but it turns out that the financial aid package isn't enough for you to afford it, you can decline enrolling.  This is the only way you can get out of not enrolling actually.

However, I think if you apply and indicate that you don't need financial aid, then if you get in, you're supposed to go no matter what.[/quote]
