I am well aware of all of this. That is why part of the plan is to spend very little for undergraduate. High merit aid is one of the options we are evaluating. That will leave money for med school or to finance additional schooling if she finds that med school is not right and needs to change careers options.
@uskoolfish I have not ignored your thoughts on Hofstra. You have raised issues to investigate. However, not everything that you raise is applicable to our situation. By the way, the public schools you mentioned are on our radar as well. That said, I think @lookingforward is right and that we should now refrain from negative comments on specific schools. It wasn’t my original intent to list the schools I had in mind, but I responded to a different poster asking for them. My original intent was to keep it all hypothetical.
@BearHouse Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience!
