[quote=Anonymous]I hated this time last year for a similar reason. I let my DD apply to two schools that I would not agree to pay for - because she wanted to see if she would get in. My DD is a great student and a hard worker, but she's not an only child and we can't put everything extra in her basket. There were weeks of tears. Admitted students days were helpful because she realized that she didn't actually fit in at one of the schools she thought she wanted. Fast forward a year and she's really happy and doing well in her state school where we are paying 100% of the bills so she will come out debt free. Things really turned around for us when she paid her deposit and her room deposit. I don't really feel like it was a mistake to let her apply despite the angst and tears. The application fee was a small price to pay so that she realized she really is pretty great. And, it gave us a tangible way for her to experience living within her means. [/quote]
