[quote=Anonymous]I have an older kid and a rising senior as well. The problem these days is that it is so hard to predict where they might actually get in. My oldest applied broadly: Virginia state schools and all level of privates, from top 20s to those that were clearly safeties. The hope was that he would get some merit money from some of the "target" privates. Until you apply and get acceptances - and really think hard about it - it's hard to predict where the kid will get accepted, where merit money might come into play, how a department reputation might tip a scale. Also, going on the admitted student visits give a lot of insight into the actual experience and whether the money is worth it in the end. [/quote]
