DD is a rising junior at a local private.  She will be going to a state school because that's what we can afford.  She's an athlete, but not of recruitable calibre, an A- student but hard worker.  Now some of her classmates r looking at HYP, top schools, etc. They have no hook and parents don't have the income to support it.   Am I missing something here, or r the heading down the path of a ton of loans?  Also the parents seems to be the ones encouraging it....[/quote]

I think you may be missing that many of the other private school parents probably DO have the income to support private university tuitions. They are already sending their kids to private school, which is $20K to $30K/year. For the $45K/year balance, they may have been able to save for college (agree that not all private school families can save for college, but many families won't do private unless they can save for college), or they may be getting parental help. You just don't know.[/quote]
