[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone dealt with this?  DD's top 5 choices are all priced way too steeply and unless some serious financial aid comes through, it's not going to happen.  Of course, the worst part is, is that based on her stats, she could get into all of them pretty easily.

She really, really disliked high school (despite trying her absolute hardest to make it work) and now is faced with having limited college options and I think is feeling really, really defeated...[/quote]

There are just so many great schools out there that not getting to go to the 5 she likes best really isn't "limited college options." I got into my first choice, but when the aid came through, we knew it was out of reach. It was awful, especially for my parents because it was a twist of the knife in a painful family tragedy that made it financially out of reach. But the school that gave me the most aid, while it didn't at all fit my "criteria" and from which I had every intention of transferring out of ASAP, was actually really wonderful. College is what you make of it, and no matter where you go, you do have a chance to become what you want to be. Sometimes the road less travelled leads to great places.[/quote]
