[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She can go to college she just doesn't want to go to her dream school. Oh well that's life. If it was that important to her she would have been working on a plan long before now.[/quote]

So after DD witnessed the steps going to private college, and being told the summer before senior year that she only has $30k and will not qualify for financial aid, this CHILD was supposed to have the foresight to anticipate this AND the means to somehow scrape together another 90k to go to the state school??? This is hands down the stupidest comment ever posted on DCUM. [/quote]

So now you want to pretend that people are t planning for college when they are 5. You're going to pretend that teens especially top students think nothing of college before their senior year? You can miss me with your bullshit. [/quote]

Teens aren't exactly known for their ability to think far into the future.  Hell, it doesn't look like the mom did much of that, either.  The kid might have assumed that like her step siblings, she would be able to go to a university of her choosing.  She may not have known that mom hasn't saved up enough for her.  Even if she knew all this, what do you expect her to do, exactly?  Work and save up 100K?  At the undergraduate level, your options are limited if there is no demonstrable financial need, and by getting married to a rich guy, mom essentially closed that door.[/quote]
