I agree with the OP, our family is middle class due to where we live (high COL), and if my kids want to go OOS, they apply to matches/safeties that will give significant merit. 3.9 UWGPA, 34 ACT still put OOS colleges more expensive than in state (average tuition around $35,000 a year after merit). Unfortunately if you can’t afford $75,000 a year there really isn’t a point in applying to more selective schools, even if you can get accepted, so definitely do the math first. Once you figure out your budget you can start searching.
