[quote=Anonymous]If you need merit aid, establish your budget. Choose schools at which your child is in the top 25% of accepted freshmen. And, run the Net Price Calculator for each school. Avoid the term "dream school." It sets you up for unrealistic expectations and disappointment, especially if you need merit aid. (See above.) This is not an emotional decision - it is a business decision. You and your child will spend a lot of time and money on this degree. Be pragmatic and matter-of-fact. There is no one right school for a given student. There are lots of good schools, and any number of them will provide your child with a great experience and the degree s/he wants.[/quote]
