<p>realtime, it is a huge eyeopener. Schools do not want to feel like used car dealers, but I feel like I am buying the most expensive airline ticket of a lifetime, and doing so 4 times for each child. It is on a flight where everyone pays a different fare to get from point A to point B, and to top it off when we choose which airline (which college) we don’t have a price (at the time of application). We get the price it is going to cost us around 4/1, and then have perhaps 30 days to decide!</p>
