[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree, but it’s an unfortunate reality. The truth is that a couple of Bs will not only cost your child admission at T20 schools, but often at state flagships as well. [/quote] Only the highly selective state flagships. There are plenty of options out there. [/quote] Not as many if you’re middle class. You need T20 stats to make the other schools affordable.[/quote] Oh hells no. My DD got significant merit at Michigan State and Iowa. And she is nowhere near top 20 stats. Her aid brought both schools down to the 40k range all in. Like I said, there are tons of options. [/quote] Thank you for this dose of reality![/quote] Welcome! We are thrilled and so is she. She also got merit at Penn State but not as much (6K I think). Waiting to hear from Delaware about their merit aid package (if any) but she already knows it’s either MSU or Iowa. [/quote]
