[quote=Anonymous]The mom says the family can’t afford these schools. The schools say the family can. The kid is trying to play the schools against her parents: she’ll get in and go to her parents saying “Princeton says I’m smart, and they also say you can afford it. If you don’t believe you can afford it, you must not believe I’m smart!” And she’ll have a point. Why would you care so much about what a college admissions office thinks, and not care at all about what the financial aid office thinks? If you’re going to carry that acceptance in your heart forever, wouldn’t you also carry forever the same school’s assessment that your parents could actually have paid for it, if only they were willing?[/quote]
