[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, check out College Confidential and also a blog called the College Solution. There's excellent info available on this subject -- some CC parents in particular have really done their homework on the college process -- and you'll find long lists of schools that offer merit aid. At our DC private, kids are focused on a pretty narrow range of obvious, mostly East Coast schools, which to be fair is where most of the kids want to go anyway. But you're exactly right, if you attend one of these high schools at full pay, they just assume you're willing to double it for college. Our goal was to keep college in the same price range as high school, and that is entirely realistic if you approach it with some common sense and an open mind. Our college counselor is really fantastic at the whole art of presenting the kid as an applicant, but knows little about the financial side. A little parental involvement can definitely go a long way in this department. [/quote]

All, very helpful.  Thanks.[/quote]
