[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a nmsf.  #1 in class at academically rigorous private.  All the right extracurriculars, internships, national and international awards to be competitive at Ivy and top private schools.  We will be paying full freight--absolutely no aid.  We can do so, but DH and I are first generation to go to college, do a cost benefit analysis for everything and have spent years supporting family members.  We have a 529 plan for DC which would pay for excellent state school in this area but are not the best schools for DC's likely majors--plans to double major.  DC has applied to said schools as "likely" admissions.  If DC is admitted to Ivy or Ivy-lite is it really worth paying $65000 a year [b]on top of the $250,000 we have already paid for grammar school and high school?  [/b]This seems so crazy, and yet, DC has worked hard to get to this spot. What would you do?  DC will likely ultimately seek a PhD so there are a lot of years of school ahead. [/quote]

Your mistake has already been made.  You spent the college money on grammar school and high school!   I pray you don't live in a good school district! [/quote]
