[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DCUM moms don’t have to worry about this because they pick colleges for their kids and don’t let the kids do any kind of independence thinking for themselves. [/quote] Well- my parents told me I could only go in-state VA due to finances (we didn’t qualify for aid). You don’t live in the real world if you think most parents will greenlight a $90k/year private or $65k OOS favorite just because the kid likes the football team or the weather.[/quote] We can afford $90K/year, but would not let a kid pick that because of "the football team or the weather". One kid is at a $85K+ but that's because they picked for academics, opportunities outside the classroom, research ability, etc. They have to articulate why a school is their choice and academic opportunities need to be part of it for us to pay.
