[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I am 16:14 and I think it is great that you are focusing on planning how to pay for college, including saving as much as you can. But, with all due respect, your children are in elementary school and you seem very focused on a specific subset of schools. You and your ex-dh may have gone to one of these schools but at this point, you have no idea if one of these schools will be a fit for your children. The time to focus on specific schools is high school and not even freshmen year. Also, if your children are in elementary school, you have a number of years before you have to fill out financial aid applications. Your salary could increase significantly in that time. Your ex-dh's salary could decrease significantly in that time. So much could happen that I am not even going to write them out because some are really good and some are really bad. Keep abreast of what is happening with financial aid but do not obsess. It is likely that things will change a lot over the next several years as colleges (and yes, even the elite schools) are losing a lot of money due to covid.[/quote]

Thank you for your comment. I'm open to all kinds of schools and situations, but I can see why you'd get something different from my posts. Just trying to get an idea of what the possibilities are. Thank you for your perspective, I think it is smart to keep everything you're talking about in mind.[/quote]
