Want to add, I don't really recommend applying OOS to dream schools if you can't afford them or really can't have your child away for whatever reason. You don't want to put them in a situation where they're accepted somewhere they want to attend and can't.[/quote]

Why not? My kid will be applying to a few dream schools they know it’s unlikely they’ll be accepted into and unable to afford.  But they want to anyway, and I am fine with it. Kids are not as fragile as you imagine.  [/quote]

As long as your kid is fully aware that they cannot attend "dream school" unless it costs less than $X.  But most 17 yo who have a "dream school" would be very disappointed to apply, actually get accepted to the Reach and then be told "nope you cannot attend".  
Just make sure they understand your reality

Of course. That’s why it’s a “dream school.” ie - in your dreams

My kid wants to apply to a few. I won’t stop them. We are very open in our home. I personally think it’s just to scratch an itch, which I get.  They can choose to apply where they please, as long as they have a good handful of targets/safeties in our price range that they’re excited about.  Beyond that, it’s up to them. [/quote]

Is this for real or satire?  [/quote]
