[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tell my kids that they can go to an in-state public. They are welcome to apply to any private and out-of-state schools, but they cannot go there unless merit and aid are able to bring the price down to that of our in-state Publics. There are absolutely out of state schools and privates who will do this. But obviously, not all of them and it depends on the stats of your kids[/quote]

I am in VA. My daughter is applying to an out of state school that is cheaper than our most expensive state school (W&M) BEFORE merit.[/quote]

Can you share school?[/quote]

Commonwealth University

Most of the smaller PA schools (ie, not Penn St or Pitt) are similarly priced[/quote]

Don't take out loans. Not even for higher ranked schools. They are such a burden for both parents and students.

Be clear about the budget. It is what it is. Tell them if they can get into Princeton, cool. They are giving FA to families with upwards of 300,000 in income. Or tell them about merit. Alabama is making things work for smart kids. But under no circumstances take on debt for Commonwealth University. There is zero career outcome advantage from any school outside of the top 50 or so.
