[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those reading this and freaking out, use the college Net Price Calculators for an estimate of need-based aid. If that's not going to cut it for your family, the earlier you understand that, the better you can begin to look for lower priced options and places that offer merit scholarships. Realistic expectations.[/quote] What if those colleges are not a good fit for your kid? [/quote] This isn't a goldilocks moment. Get over the idea that there is a perfect fit college out there. If you can't afford any car on the lot, you don't start by looking at the expensive ones. Start by finding what might be financially possible and go visit those. Then you make it work.[/quote] +100000. I think the over emphasis on ‘Fit’ is a marketing gimmick. Most kids will be fine at most public colleges. It’s more about prestige and peer pressure when you are willing to pay 80k per year for an undergrad degree.[/quote]
