[quote=Anonymous]This is dated information but my parents were very clear about what they could afford. I got into a school I would have been so excited to attend. I received a 50% tuition scholarship but knew it wasn’t enough. I never once indicated to my parents that I was disappointed that I couldn’t attend. I told them that although that school initially sounded great, it was definitely too small and that I wanted to go to our state’s flagship university. It may be worth a conversation with your daughter about what happens if she gets in and doesn’t get the merit aid necessary. I would be disappointed if my kid knew we couldn’t afford it and pushed/ begged anyway. You never know what might happen in terms of aid, but turn it into a fun exercise of celebrating getting in even if she doesn’t end up going. Good luck, OP![/quote]
