Colleges to Consider?... Mostly LACs

@intparent I guess I mean a lot of schools have shifted to need based/need blind aid via the net price calculator, especially the better schools. That wasn’t always the case but definitely in the past ten years I’d guess. I’ve been down this road before as she is my youngest and I am just very clear on the fact that Bryn Mawr at $65K would most likely cost us far more than we can afford and I don’t want to see my daughter go into severe debt knowing that she will very likely be going to graduate school. We are not going to receive much if any need based aid so being realistic about merit scholarships is the place that we are in right now. Sorry if I mis-spoke I just believe it’s important to be realistic. And even if you are at the top of the stats pool nothing is guaranteed so keeping an open mind is valuable and having both safety schools academically and merit-wise is a good idea (for us anyway).
