[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are better off sending your student to the top school they can get into. If you do not qualify for beed based aid then you make at least 200k and can well afford the in-state flagship and if you had saved properly the 70-90k of a private. [/quote] But a kid who wants to attend a small LAC probably isn't going to be happy at a huge state flagship, in classes w/ hundreds of students. I would argue that it would be better to attend a lower-ranked LAC that will still provide a terrific education than try to pigeonhole a kid into a huge school based solely on the price tag. So far, the schools that have offered great merit aid to my DD have been Kenyon, Oberlin, Kalamazoo and Wheaton College (MA). Brandeis offered her a $45k Presidential Scholarship, but the COA is still much higher than the other options. All fine schools, we're waiting to hear on the rest of her apps, but most of those will only provide need-based aid. [/quote]
