[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If schools think you have $$$ it is easier to get in at many privates if it seems you may be willing/able to pay full freight. Our DS got into all of privates where he applied but did not get any merit aid because his grades are not great. I know of stronger students that were rejected from these schools and while I love my DC to death we just are not going to pay 60-70 K for college that is not top 20-25. He will attend a solid state school and if he does well and wants to go to grad school we will help him stay out of debt. [/quote] Exactly. We're in the same boat. No merit aid, but acceptances to less selective SLACs. All great colleges, and if we didn't notice the $60k (maybe if we had $500k hhi or more), we'd pay it. But we will notice it a lot (hhi about $200k), so my beloved child will have to eek out an education at one of our fine state institutions![/quote]
