Do some private colleges "sticker price" like car dealers?

My advice is to pick the schools you apply to carefully so that you and your kid will have a good group of schools to choose from at varying price points and varying academic reps.</p>

<p>With the Common App and $50 app fee, to me it made sense to throw lots and lots of match-ish schools into the hopper so we’d have choices.
