[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm not sure if you're still on this thread - it is so long!
We have 2 kids who will be going to college at the same time. If they go to one of several excellent state schools available to us, they should each cost about $30-40K per year total. If they choose to go private, or if private ends up being their only options this obviously doubles at least which would be crippling. We are flagging the state options now before they apply by about 1 year.[/quote]

Thank you. Yes, I’m still here. One small issue that muddies the water a bit in our situation is we are actually DC residents. So although we get 10k towards a state school, that isn’t really enough to make up the difference between in state and OOS schools and even with his very high GPA, those merit scholarships rarely get offered to OOS students. So it’s a bit of a catch. He’s still looking at privates. And we will also have two in and the same time like you. No decision has been made yet. Appreciate you sharing your experience![/quote]
