[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid has no generational wealth. Maybe even opposite generational wealth given your low HHI.

Obviously college is for job training. Even if your kid ends up going to Harvard. [/quote]

80k is low?[/quote]

For an entire household that’s sending a kid to college? Yes, when paired with low assets. (No if it’s annual income from a trust fund …. )

Emory just set their tuition-free bar at $200k, by the way. Not sure how that’s going to work out for them exactly, but it’s worth a look: https://news.emory.edu/features/2025/09/er_emory_advantage_plus_17-09-2025/index.html

As the first 2nd tier college to do it, Emory stands out. Four elite colleges Princeton, Penn, MIT, Harvard already have it.  The rest of the T10 is going to have to follow suit or lose out in the fight for the top need-based aid kids.
OP your kid will pay close to 0 at these schools and will get learning and enough training to go on to any possible career. 
Aim high if your kid has top stats/rigor. [/quote]
There's around 2700 4 year colleges in the US, Top25 or top1% being second tier is a stretch. Tha[/quote]
