[quote=Anonymous]We are looking at this from a purely financial perspective. My kid is getting pushed to get the best GPA and test scores solely because we can't afford private colleges without a lot of merit aid, and there aren't a lot of public colleges in-state that my kid is interested in attending. The pressure is much worse this year, and I feel really badly about it, but that's the way it is. My kid would be perfectly happy at a SLAC ranked 50-80, but we can't afford any SLAC because of the price tag. DD has been doing a lot of test prep and feels very stressed about her grades. I am not happy with this situation, but I don't see any alternative. DD doesn't want to go to CC, but if she doesn't get into our in-state options, that's where she's going without a LOT of merit aid from private SLACS. [/quote]
