[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complain about being a donut hole family? When there are thousands of colleges that could work between in state options and merit aid at lower tier privates and other oos public’s?l is it bc ivies and top 25 are not options?[/quote]

I thought it was “hundreds” of options? Now you’re talking thousands? Care to share a list of say, a 100 or so of these options within an 8hr drive? Since there are apparently so many! TIA![/quote]

There are 3000 colleges in the United States. Only 25 are in the top 25. THOUSANDS. If you want to make a state college in Arizona or Oregon work for you, you could. That you don’t want to or want to self impose a driving limit of 8 hours, (why not 10 or 12), that’s on you. [/quote]

Which of these Arizona or Oregon state colleges give significant aid to OOS students?  Wasn't that your whole shtick, that there are all these affordable options out there that most of us aren't considering?  Most students are not getting into a T25 school so I don't know why you are singularly focused on those anyway.

Distance is reasonable to consider because flying back and forth across the country costs $$.[/quote]

Oh for pete's sake, Google is your friend 
Here is ASU for a 3.5 GPA, 30 ACT score 
Presidents Scholarship	$15,500
Your Estimated 1st Year Cost	$33,570

Here is U Arizona
Non-Resident Arizona Awards
Distinction Award ($30,000-$32,000) which would bring COA to 5-10K
Excellence Award ($12,500-$20,000) which would bring COA to 12-25K

Are those schools better than MD or VA state schools?  Otherwise I'm not sure why you'd send your child across the country for some marginal tuition savings (provided your DC gets those scholarships), unless that's really the path they wanted to take.  Surely you could find options closer to home where you could actually visit??[/quote]

Merely an example of thousands of options. Personally, I'd send my kid to private but I saved for college. [/quote]

Lol, if you can afford full freight private you are not a donut hole family!  Geez.[/quote]

Obviously. Are you donut hole? describe.[/quote]
