[quote=Anonymous]I'm 56. I was waitlisted at Bowdoin and W&M (out of state), admitted UMass and UVM. Rejected from Williams and Brown. Desperately wanted to go to Bowdoin. Got off the waitlist at both, but not enough aid at Bowdoin. This was back in the days when state schools were relatively cheap even for OOS students. My parents said they could afford W&M (my father really wanted me to go there), so since it seemed like the best school of my remaining options, that's where I went. With my own kids, we felt our EFC was much more than we could afford. We knew our kids wouldn't get enough aid at top schools, so we took them off the table. Kids applied only to in-state publics and privates where they were strong candidates for merit aid. [/quote]
