@Empireapple May I ask, what schools were you hoping your child would apply to (sorry if I missed it upthread)? If you live in NY, you have great options. Binghamton, Geneseo, U Buffalo, and Stony Brook are all great state schools. Also, Cornell contract schools (ILR, HUman Ecology, and CAS) cost less than typical private colleges. There is also a lot of merit aid to be had. My D was offered amazing merit packages at Tulane and University of Miami. I also know that University of Vermont offers great merit aid.
