Dang straight!!</p>
<p>*It does not seem to work for us this way. DD’s GPA is 3.6 unweighted, combined SAT 2170. We ran the calculator for a number of privates on her list, and have yet to find one where the estimated out-of-pocket costs will come below 40K. I think it’s a combination of factors: </p>
<p>1)her stats are good (but not good enough to get full tuition or even half tuition)
2)our income is too high (but not high enough to pay those costs). *</p>
<p>if you’re looking for financial safeties for your D, look at the auto scholarship and full tuition scholarship threads. There are good schools that would give your D free tuition for her stats.</p>
<p>Post #80 has the best list
