[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. PP, not all of the top 15 schools will give enough $$$ to make the finances work for sub-$200,000/year income. [/quote] Cost, financial aid, and family budget are key to planning for college. I've spent hours plugging data into net cost estimators for different schools and have a list, which I have handed to my kid. It has about 30 schools on it. They are all schools that I can afford. Otherwise, I can afford to spend $30,000 a year on school. If DS picks a school that is more expensive, he has to figure out how to pay for it. He quickly got the idea that he'd rather have ME pay for it and is planning his applications accordingly. That means that Washington University in St. Louis and a bunch of OOS public universities came off of his list, and some smaller, highly ranked national LACs went on his list. [/quote]
