[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a better strategy than banning kids from applying to certain schools is to be upfront about how much money they have for college. [b]They can apply to any school[/b], but in order to accept it has to fit the budget. Some school give generous aid to wealthy kids, and you don't know until you apply.[/quote] But why apply to schools that do not give merit aid, which the parents know they cannot afford based on their budget? It is not a blind exercise, it is a strategic one. Some schools give no merit aid, period. [/quote] This. I told my kid not to even look at schools that don't give merit aid. Don't waste our time (or money with application fees). We will not qualify for much, if any, financial aid and we can't afford full price. DC applied very strategically to a mix of schools that are generous with merit for students with similar stats and state schools where we knew we could afford sticker price.[/quote]
