[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much of this depends on whether your parents are willing to help pay or not. If so, you all could easily cash flow W&M, no need for community college. If not, you are almost definitely looking at community college or a much lower ranked school that will offer a lot of money for high stats (there are plenty, and can even be good experiences).[/quote]

They tell me it's because they can't afford it, but I'm pretty sure it's because they're not willing + resentful that their parents made them pay their own way to college, but they both got really good in-state deals[/quote]

So they'll pay for in-state college?  What have they said about what they will contribute?  Is it literally 0$?  Have they filled out the FAFSA forms with you?  It's not uncommon to have parents who spend significantly and don't prioritize saving for kid's college unfortunately.

Do you have a job yet OP?  I had parents who couldn't afford much for college, and I started working when I was 14 years old, the max time allowed during summers, and part-time during the school year.  If you have this Ivy dream, you can take out loans, if your parents are willing to take out loans as well, but it will cost you...[/quote]
