[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older child went to a lower-ranked SLAC with a lot of merit after the higher-ranked SLACs did not offer any. Now that it is my next child's turn, we are skipping over a lot of target SLACs because I knew they will not offer any money. There was no use getting hopes up or wasting valuable time applying. They also applied to a lot more state schools than their older sibling. I just don't think those second-tier SLACs are worth the full-pay cost when there are lots of great SLACs offering merit.[/quote] When cost is a factor, I don't understand why this (wisdom) is not common knowledge or at least in every college book and repeated by every college counselor [/quote]
