[quote=Anonymous]DH and I valued our large state U experience (in different states) and our kids would have had to convince us of the merits of a SLAC. So, with that framework, we printed off a list of state schools around the country that we thought would be a good fit, in descending order of published cost of attendance. We actually drew a line - schools below the line were affordable. They did apply to a couple privates. Got merit at most out-of-state publics. DD applied to 10 schools total and her list from most expensive to least expensive was completely re-ordered once merit aid came in. The original list we printed off for them stayed on their bedroom wall for months. It took months before they seemed intersted in talking about it. "Gee Mom, did you see that school X is almost twice as expensive as school y?" It's like finally, after months and months, costs seemed to sink it.[/quote]
