[quote=Anonymous][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]

Many schools offer merit awards not included in the NPC.

Also, however prescient you might be, very few people in October 2024 could have accurately predicted the state of the market, the world economy, and in some cases their own employment as of April 2025. [/quote]

Most T25 schools do NOT "offer much merit awards not included in the NPC".  They might offer 10-20, but in the grand scheme of things, that is so unlikely you cannot count on it.  versus go to a school ranked 30-75 and they offer good merit to most kids.  [/quote]
