Colby is the “dream” school and every kid is entitled to one so I coughed up the application fee. Our EFC is high and we can’t afford 48K per year so it is the catch 22 many of us CC parents know well. Yes dear, you’ve been accepted… but it’s too expensive. I guess just being accepted is somewhat satisfying. Affordability is an issue with many of these schools. D’s GC recommended we apply because “need” and “merit” can very from year to year and from college to college. … there is something called “Preferential Packaging” a term I’ve heard used here but never quite understood… maybe that is what the HS GC is talking about. Who knows… I wrote the 15 checks.
