<p>Agree with the nopes above. There are so many variables: what’s your EFC? Are you considering out-of-state or only in-state-publics? Are you comparing the flagship university to the private colleges? Does your state have a “Hope” scholarship (GA, TN, others)? Does your child have high scores, GPA, and ECs? Run the NPCs on different college sites to get a sense of your family’s cost range. </p>
