I agree with this - that being said, if even the most generous schools (like Princeton and MIT) are coming in ($40-60k) well above what the OP can realistically spend ($15-20k) there aren’t going to be many financial outcomes that would beat Lehigh’s combination of school quality and price point (other than STAMPs type program which are ultra competitive). Of course, if Lehigh isn’t a fit that’s a moot point and there are certainly other good schools where budget could be reached - or the family can decide they are willing to spend more. Fortunately, this wonderful student has put themselves into a position where getting a great education at a reasonable cost is possible, so they’ve won regardless of what their decision is on Lehigh.
