[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hypothetically Northwestern for full pay vs full ride at University of Missouri. So many variables but the financial factor can be significant depending on the family’s situation.

As a HH making less than $200k without enough saved to pay $400k for NU, *I* would encourage the full ride and pursue grad school[/quote]

If it’s a state flagship in the T100 range, I think it’s ok. People understand that college is expensive. But Not a random small school. Why aren’t there any T30-T70 colleges in the mix? If this kid hass gotten into T10, those would give scholarships too. [/quote]

Because many people apply to 8-10 T25 schools and then a few safeties, assuming their kid will get into at least several of the T25.  Not realizing that if you apply to many in the 30-70 range, your kid can get great merit.  My own kid did just that and we were not even searching for merit.  It just happened.  Had we been looking, we would have had many more merit offers as well
