[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is absolutely inexcusable that you've put your child in this position by being so completely out to lunch. Your best strategy now is to pull the ED application completely if the school offers no merit aid, switch it to RD if it does offer merit, and then apply to a mix of schools you know you can afford with no aid, including some academic safeties, and other schools that do offer merit aid (with the understanding that attendance is contingent on merit). This is the very common strategy that anyone with any common sense who has limited financial means uses. Or suck it up and pay the tuition, on the theory that you got off easy with your other two kids. I feel like your older kids now see how unhelpful you were to them and are trying to save their sibling from their fate.
