Colfac92, yes,or very close for the state schools. The privates would require some merit aid package for him to attend without considerable debt, or considerable additional work during school/summers or finding any outside scholarships. Though we may well qualify for need based aid in future years given our situation, we can’t depend on it.

I’m leaning to not filing CSS Profile or sending FAFSA to additional schools unless we can determine for certain it is required for some reason. So far, it doesn’t seem to be, but it’s definitely good advice to contact them individually once he decides to apply.

socalmom007 may I ask which ones please?
