Just read through this and was esp. interested in the posts made by Daytripper and Blurinka–
Like Daytripper’s parents, we would be very happy for our son if he got into Tufts. He has visited twice and loved it-- will apply ED. There are also two or three LACs he liked as well. We probably will not qualify for financial aid, though it will be a real stretch, and more so when younger siblings head to college in a few years. Our predicament is more what we would do if he does NOT get into Tufts or his second choice schools.
Would we then be wiser to consider a good program in a state school, or pay private college tuition at a less competitive LAC? Maybe money saved could help with grad school?
I realize now that this should probably be posted in the parent’s thread, but if anyone here has advice or experience we’d be very happy to hear it. Thanks.
