[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy, wait till you get to the actual application process.  I was super stressed out by the fact that DC was applying to very expensive schools which I would pay for if they got into a T10.

DC was rejected, but aint gonna lie,  I was kinda relieved. They are at the state flagship with merit.[/quote]

That's what we are doing now.[/quote]
What is it that you are "researching"?  If your kid wants to go to some expensive college, and you know it has a good rep for their intended major, then what do you need to research?

You already know you won't get aid. We didn't.

IMO, the most stressful part was waiting for the decision because of the cost.

I am trying to find better, cheaper options he might like! The list is grim so far. Out of all the schools he put on common app we can afford very few.[/quote]
If you are not willing to pay for it, then you need to tell him to find alternatives.

My DC had super super high stats. They were only planning to apply to two T10 schools and our state flagship. I made them apply to a few other schools, just in case, but I think it was halfhearted really.  But, DC picked those alternatives. I pushed for them to apply to a specific school as a safety, but they didn't want to.  So, I dropped it.

Regardless, your DC needs to find those alternatives, not you.  You just need to provide the guardrails for finances and maybe location, if that matters.[/quote]
