[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s quite expensive for OOS.  I don’t think I’d describe it as affordable for OOS students[/b].[/quote]

Still, less expensive than SLACs in general.  My SLAC (not worth it anymore) is now 80K a year.[/quote]

[b]List price, sure. But many SLACs discount and W&M doesn’t give much $$. [/quote][/b]

The SLACs can only discount by offering merit awards.  If your child is aiming for the top elite schools, there are very few merit opportunities left.  Less elite schools will trade some merit money for a stellar GPA or test score.  IF you are talking about financial aid, that is assessed by the CSS or FAFSA and your EFC (expected family contribution) is provided to the college.  For most on DCUm reading this, they will have, as we did, an EFC of 100% so no financial aid beyond the $5500 offered if you file the FAFSA.  So, in our case, there was no financial aid and no merit aid for either child. I say this because every year someone comes on this page and wails that they just learned that the schools their child was admitted to is $76K a year and they can't afford it.  That family should have used the net price calculator on the school's page.  You can also file the FAFSA early and get a real decision on your FAFSA.  [/quote]
