[quote=Anonymous][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]

Why would you even allow your kid to apply to the school if you can’t afford the tuition? I absolutely do not get this approach. It is so cruel to the child. There are NPC on every college website. They are incredibly accurate. Use them!! [/quote]

Set financial expectations during junior year, so your kid can apply to schools that are within budget (or that typically give good merit so they could end up within your budget).  But a T20 school that accepts 2K students and gives only 20 merit awards is not "affordable to you" unless you can be full pay.  The odds of getting that merit award are "slim to none"[/quote]
