Both my kids were NMF and answered undecided up until that date. It didnt hinder ANY mail arriving from colleges. Take the early answer date some college request with a grain of salt. …
By the way, both my NMF kids took the free ride.

Thanks for the help with the “undecided”. I’ve advised my daughter. You’ve got some awesome kids!</p>

Never underestimate the value of a FREE college education. … that early financial security will likely go a lot further than a “better” college will.

I agree, but the “smart” guy that I am (ha!), the money is in a 529, so no home down payment or debt free car. The good news is that I can be the “rich uncle” (ha!) that helps pay for other family members’ kids if my own two kids don’t use it. Or maybe even grand kids (shudder). But I think both of my kids may go on to grad school, so it might not be so hard to spend it all, even if there are big scholarship bucks.</p>
