Even with an of $200+ income it’s a lot of money. We gave our kids some stipulations that they could not apply to schools that our COA was over $40,000. We even feel that is too much when we are full pay.

We weren’t so smart with the first going off to college. While he did stay in the range, the college he attended didn’t give merit aid. However, for the second child we mentioned that she apply to schools that offer merit aid since our our EFC is still much higher. While you may not fully understand this change fom your parents. They are learning and dealing with what they feel is feasible for them now.

If you want to apply just to see if you get accepted. Then do it.
