[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op ~[b] you want them to "own" the decision. [/b]It's their first big decision as an adult. They will work hard (harder) to prove they make a good decision. I think this is the most important aspect. I assume you agreed to all applications.[/quote] but it's easy "own" it when YOU don't have to pay[/quote] Determine ahead of time what your budget is and convey that to your DC. Once the decisions come in, including financial and merit aid, kick schools that don't meet the budget off the list. Your child can choose from the others. If you are paying up to $X, then pay up to $X. Or don't. But if you do, then don't lord it over your child as a control mechanism.[/quote]
