[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learned: Applying where you are in the top 85-99% does not guarantee much scholarship $. Applying where you are in the top 80-99% does not guarantee acceptance. WL, in fact. Apply to schools that are financial fits! This generation of kids with credit cards (my kid) doesn’t really understand $. Applying to a school that costs 73k a year, when that’s more that our 4-year budget for college, is crazy! Be more on top of which schools they are applying to. Insist on meeting with the GC. Our DC did everything with zero guidance. How I wish, looking back is always 20/20, I had insisted on 1 parent-child-GC meeting yo make sure that DC and I understood the process. [/quote] What happened? Does your kid not have any reasonable options?[/quote]
