[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree, but it’s an unfortunate reality. The truth is that a couple of Bs will not only cost your child admission at T20 schools, but often at state flagships as well. [/quote]

Only the highly selective state flagships. There are plenty of options out there. [/quote]

Not as many if you’re middle class. You need T20 stats to make the other schools affordable.[/quote]

Oh hells no. My DD got significant merit at Michigan State and Iowa. And she is nowhere near top 20 stats. Her aid brought both schools down to the 40k range all in.

Like I said, there are tons of options. [/quote]

Thank you for this dose of reality![/quote]

There are also several private schools in the 80-120 range where a good student (1200+, 3.5UW+/no APs) can also get good merit and bring price down to ~$40K/year all in.  [/quote]

Even the 50-120 range.

Dd with 1140 sat and sun 3.5 uw just got into her 7th. The hard thing is actually going to be having so much choice. [/quote]
