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]

My ds's dream school is in-state, but it's a reach. In state safeties and targets he is not thrilled with, just ok.[/quote]

What state? You won't give yourself away, I promise.[/quote]

Florida[/quote]

Hmmm, okay. We're Florida residents (military), so I get that the landscape can be tough, and yeah, Florida is a tough admit, even in-state. What program?[/quote]

He is hoping for FSU. UF he is applying but knows he has almost no shot so it's not really in the picture. Then there is UCF, which is okay, USF, okay as well but not as exciting, and then FAU, FIU which would be a big disappointment as they are so close to home.[/quote]

Not as many people here know about Bright Futures - how much would you save going in state? And, how much of a financial hit would you take going out of state, like can you easily afford even if you question the value?

If you can afford it, I probably wouldn’t insist he stay in state if the choices are FIU or FAU. If it’s UCF or USF, maybe ask him to keep an open mind, attend admitted students days etc…but I’d look out of state if you can afford it. I think the overall vibe at some of these schools is going to be a bit more like a commuter school which is why I’d consider out of state but as you can see on this board we know a lot more about VA and MD options.
