Moving home after college to pay off loans?

My D also went to an NJ public magnet (MCVSD). Her GC told us that kids who scored 650 or above on both the M and CR sections of the SAT and had a 3.7 GPA would get money from NJ four-year publics. So that’s something to shoot for. Also, to give you hope, my D’s GPA was a shade under 3.7 and she got merit money from Rutgers and admission to the Honors School NB. The NJ publics recognize the rigor of the county magnets, want kids from them, and are willing to bend a little to get them.

<p>Thanks, NJSue, for your help. My daughter has a few friends who are seniors at her school and indeed, from what she says, ALL of them were offered money by Rutgers, even one kid with SATs about 100 points below her (projected) score. Of course I can’t take that to the bank but it does make me feel somewhat relieved!</p>
