[quote=Anonymous]Regrets: Not being 100% clear with my daughter that where she goes it's fully up to her, and that in our family our financial situation may change last minute and that may dictate where she goes and she needs to stay flexible. We did not have enough money saved to let her just choose wherever she wanted to go. I think expectations were set that if she achieved much academically that the seas would be somehow parted for someone like her and much would be given. No matter what we said she thought it was going to go that way. So when merit aid came in and heavily favored one school over another, we as parents naturally looked at it like that was the natural choice. I think she set her expectations high for these hard to reach privates and so even though she got in, there was never a chance we could pay, which was a waste of time for everyone. We told her from the beginning that for our particular situation, finances were the top priority and she really didn't listen well, but we should have figured out a way to get through to her.[/quote]
