Dollars-and-sense conversation with the grandparents might be a good thing to do before dismissing WUSTL. Since our S was a baby, MIL has been saying that if he got into her alma mater, “grandma would pay.” Suddenly, she is silent on the subject. Why? When S applied last fall, she took note of the cost – tuition ALONE is $42,500 now. She was thinking a couple thousand a year. Luckily, S has been accepted into several other schools he likes very much with good merit money. He’ll find out about grandma’s alma mater April 1. She’s probably praying he won’t be accepted so the “hey grandma, you said you’d pay” issue doesn’t come up. But maybe you’ll find the grandparents in your case DO know the cost and want their grandson to go to his dream school.
