[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a lower middle class family. We rent in a good school district. I never went to college and my wife works at a daycare. We don't have any debt. We have been putting $50/month over the years for our only child. He is a Senior. He only has $20k in his 529. He gave me a list of schools he would like to attend to. I have been googling them. Some of them include Duke, UCLA, Georgia Tech etc. we can't afford any of these schools. Thankfully he is aware and he says he can go to community college. He is a good kid. He works hard, makes his own money. I hope he gets some scholarship but from my understanding it's hard. He took calculus this year and finished with an 80% average. I thought it was good but apparently not. He also took the SAT and he obtained 1400 but he plan to take it again next year. He wants to study chemical engineering.[/quote]

He should apply around and see what type of financial aid is offered. He doesn't sound like a kid who would need to go the CC route if you're LMC and possibly first generation. A 1400 is a great score for that demographic.[/quote]
