[quote=Anonymous]Lots and lots of kids cannot go to their dream school. Both my kids got into their dream schools and could not go. We'd told them ahead of time our budget, and what they'd need in scholarship money to go. When all the results came in, both their dream schools were out of range. So we then looked at the choices that were in range and they picked their favorite from those. It wasn't the end of the world. It was about 3 days of sadness. A few years later, one kid graduates in May, another next May. Neither will have any debt, and given the economy and lack of jobs, they are both very glad they didn't go into debt to go to their first choice. It was also a good lesson in "we don't always get what we want". There'll be a lot of those in life so it's good to build resilience and not depend too much on circumstances.[/quote]
