[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for responses, everyone. Interesting to see that the amount of uncertainty in this makes it hard for most to really feel confident about their planning (so we're not alone). My philosophy has been that if we can get a good amount of it covered, that there are other avenues available to make up shortfalls (private loans, paying out of pocket, etc). I saw my sister get into her #1 private liberal arts college and then not get the financial aid she needed. It was pretty devastating for her as well as my middle class parents. She went to her #2 school, and has a very successful career now. I opted for the ROTC path and got a full ride and felt pretty good about not putting myself or my parents into any kind of debt - but I don't want to make my kids do that unless it's something they decide on their own. I wound up taking some small loans for grad school, which I'm still paying - but they're not much of a burden. [/quote]
