[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a 1570 but isn't even applying to any of those schools. We make too much for Need-based and none of them give any merit to speak of. :/ yes we have college savings but not $800K+ ($100K/year times 2 kids) for just undergrad costs [/quote]

5-6 schools ivy/type give some amount of need based financial aid to students from households making 300k. [b]A 1570 provided top rigor and top grades is best served at a T20/ivy or WASP.[/b] The most selective of which will likely give your family aid. [/quote]
I really don’t understand why this kid would be best served at a T20 instead of, eg, a state school engineering program. Especially since the state school means graduating with $200k in savings. (And no, the rich schools are not going to give my kid money, because I have the money, I just don’t necessarily think it’s best spent this way.)[/quote]

+1. My top stats kid picked UVA over Ivy. We banked the difference ($96k -$50k =46 K·$ savings of $46k a year x 4 = roughly $200k which compounded, so we were able to pay for grad work at Oxford and now Yale Law.[/quote]
