[quote=Anonymous]My child is in a similar boat but we prepared him ahead of time. He applied to schools in his budget and to schools known to give generous merit aid. We can afford the equivalent of in-state tuition plus room and board. His classmates with similar stats have way more options and are going to higher ranked schools. He had to focus on schools where he was 75% or higher stats to secure enough merit. I felt badly at times in the process but he is excited about the school he’s chosen and he is grateful that he will graduate college debt-free. He is aware that we live in a bubble and he is luckier than most kids elsewhere. [/quote]
