[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, my kid is disappointed they may not be able to attended a school they got accepted to due to finances. The west coast school is a challenge and the east coast school is more manageable. Kid is disappointed they worked hard to get in. We were not expecting acceptance. Not sure if we can make it work. Kid is sad. So are we. [/quote] Well that is 100% on you for not discussing finances with your kid before applying and setting expectations. If you cannot afford $85K+, then you tell your kid that, so they go in knowing 1000% that they cannot attend unless they get merit. And you temper expectations by not allowing them to apply to schools that basically do NOT give merit and cost $85-90K+/year. At most you let them apply to 1 or 2, but they have to know it's "just to see and we cannot afford it". In reality, you don't even let them apply, because yes it's difficult for a 17 yo to know they cannot attend if accepted. [/quote]
