[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For kids that are in range for these schools, where are other places they could apply private or OOS that would give them enough merit to make the price similar to full pay UVA/WM? Or what about schools that would end up even cheaper? My parents only considered instate for us so I’m new to the world of schools ending up “cheaper” or the same with merit aid. Thanks. [/quote] If you have income under $250,000, Princeton might give you enough need-based aid to be cheaper than UVa. The Coast Guard is not going to appeal to everyone, but you don’t need a congressional nomination to go there. A lot of state flagships in the middle of the country are in lovely, liberal or centrist towns and have merit scholarships. If you can figure out how to get a friend or relative to rent a room to your kid, or figure out some other way to cope with the housing shortage, and your kid is a great, responsible, sober kid, you could easily hold the yearly cost for an English-language program at a Dutch university to less than $35,000, all in.
