@collegemom9 The Tulane calculator did give an estimate of merit and what we might expect given our income. The actual costs were much higher than the estimate. I never expected need aid, and I always expected to pay and a lot. The gap was a lot higher than the estimates I ran.
To all preaching about public colleges. Yeah yeah yeah. Already have those in hand. Had we known Tulane was going to reduce their merit budget, we wouldn’t have let ds apply.
Good to know for kids 2 and 3. No matter what they do, they will never go to one of these schools.
