If accepted to Emory and Tulane etc…it is doubtful that the cost will come down to what you are able to pay.
Your D will have to take it down a few notches in terms of selectivity…for merit. Take a look at some of the NC schools (not the flagship, which is a reach).
I would take a look at Elon. That’s a private school where she might get merit (?). It’s also a school that is not priced as high as some other privates…so if she takes the student loan it might be affordable (?).
