That’s where the all-important questions of how much “need” they cover, and how they meet it, come into play. It may be that, short of taking a full-ride (obviously, the best and safest option if she can keep her gpa high), the best strategy for middle income families with kids closely spaced would be to also target schools that guarantee to meet 100% of need and have no/low loan policies (within the defined income/residency requirements which vary by school). This would include some very good LAC’s and two great publics, as well as some of the ivies. The Project on Student Debt site maintains a detailed list of these schools.
