I’m glad that you’ve found the advice helpful @Bantamlove! I know it can be overwhelming to be inundated with lots of advice, but it sounds like you’ve taken it well.
If you want any assistance in developing a balanced college list from the bottom up, just let us know. I’m sure posters will be happy to offer suggestions if you let us know what your D is interested in from her college experience and what the budget is (and/or if need-based calculators are coming back with an affordable price without specifying the budget).
