[quote=Anonymous]$33,000 is a solid merit offer and I would not expect #2 to be able to go much higher. (Maybe they will, but I would not expect it.) For comparison, my non-athlete's highest merit offer last year was $40K at a school that is known for generous merit. If you can't make college financing work with $33K a year in merit, your daughter might need to be looking at different kinds of schools, eg those where you get in-state tuition, rather than a reach school where being admitted at all will be harder, much less scoring more generous merit aid. That seems to me to be where the hard family conversation needs to be right now. If you can make it work on $33K of merit, I think #2 is the best option. [/quote]
