[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your inputs and sorry for my delayed response. [b]Since in-state VA flagship didn't work[/b], DD decided to take next best option with OOS school with potentially great prospects. In lieu of 529 plans, I had invested in a second home and sold some time back and have $200K+ in brokerage accounts. Our plan all along was to use it if in-state option won't work, and supplement with savings/income. In hindsight, we should have planned for more target schools rather than lot of reach schools. Since I don't have any other debts except for primary home mortgage with lot of equity, I was considering if HELOC would be an idea, but looks like it may not. My DS isn't college bound for another 4 years for whom I'm considering Invest529 plan this year. (I know I'm late in the process.) [/quote] VA has some of, if not the best, public universities in the country. If it's UVA or nothing she seriously needs to reevaluate. Go to NOVA for a year and transfer to Tech, W&M, Mason, Madison or even UVA. [/quote]
