My son applied to Cornell ED and we got awesome financial aid. Your daughter is way more qualified and the top schools all meet 100% of your financial need.

Don’t worry about the cost. Aim for the best that your daughter can get into. The school’s will help you.

I was so scared about how much I would have to pay and they did not ask me to pay more than I could afford. It is not unusual for a school to give a full sholarship based on your finances. Of course, I’m sure that your daughter will also get work study and a small loan (2,250.00) which is what my son has. There is nothing wrong with them paying for their own education. Also, even after getting the financial aid notice from the school you can still call and try to get more.
