[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, just let her apply and see what happens. But tell her not to get her heart set at any one place because it’s possible it won’t work out financially.

Make a deal. She applies to some state places and you support her applying to Princeton etc. But tell her you will have to see if it works out financially and there is a good chance it will not.

Princeton has a ton of money. It’s possible she will get aid. What is your household income? Also, some loans to go to Princeton might be worth it if she is willing to work in the corporate world after graduation.[/quote]

I was thinking/wondering the same. Mine got into some top tier schools and FA was better than npc. So, if you're worried that npc seems low, remind yourself of the endowments these schools have and how tgey assess differently using css from schools that just use fafsa. Are you under 200k for household income (including retirement contributions)?

Maybe set an amount you're willing to commit and leave it at that.

The hitch is future years. If you get a significant raise, cost could go up.[/quote]
