@Empireapple your kid will have many more options because of his fine GPA than he would have with a lesser one. They might not be $65,000 a year colleges…but there are options.

It sounds like you were hoping for an ED acceptance with merit aid. Is that correct?

Have you looked at schools where your son will get automatic guaranteed merit aid. I think university of Alabama would be one of those places. He could apply, and hear within a couple of weeks. Easy application, and easy scholarship application as well. Worth doing if money is a huge factor.
