Hired a consultant and now more confused…help

The problem with any of these options is that their sticker prices are now so high that even with fairly large aid packages they can still be over $200,000. Grinnell, WITH $80,000 in aid will still be $212,000. Truman on the other hand is $100,000 and that’s BEFORE the automatic $8000/year reduction for the OP’s GPA and ACT. That’s not an insignificant difference. Truman is not a big school either. They have less than 5000 students.

There are LOTS of schools that would serve the OP well. The question is how do they fit in context with the hundreds of thousands of dollars still waiting for her after?
