[quote=Anonymous]And before you start beating up on me, the long-winded dad, you should know that I have an SN kid who is barely squeaking by in community college and another who was lucky to get into Christopher Newport, so I'm not hung up on elite ivies. Third kid is a supernova and doing this all on her own. Supernova writes all her own essays but parents still have to plan out all the visits, the strategy of when to apply and where, the financial aid forms, and the most important question - WHAT can we really afford and WHAT kind of merit aid or financial aid can my kid get. For ivies, that answer is zero for merit aid. For an unknown liberal arts college in Maryland, my DD was offered $100,000 ($25K per year). You must do your reading and know what you are doing or you will miss great opportunities.[/quote]
