@Mwfan1921 @OHMomof2 my take on coaches asking about financial aid is simply I would bet if their entire class they recruited expected FA my guess is not all would matriculate if offered.

. generally one can apply EA to public schools and ED so for kids with great in state flagships we are literally looking at a 500% difference in tuition for where our kid is accepted

the schools FA calculator underestimated our contribution by 20K with another kid in college
coaches at NESCACs asking about aid are selfishly worried about how many recruits may not enroll if offered IMHO.
(The coaches we talked to didn’t ask FYI) . we are probably not the only folks where calculator didn’t match and have low cost ranked state schools as alternative.
I have some impression that schools like Kenyon and Oberlin use sports in fact to get higher paying kids into their schools!
