<p>2College, that is extremely helpful. I feel like I am exploring a world I never knew existed. It helps to know the about the school merit scholarships and tuition discounting. Believe me, we’ve talked about moving, but guess who doesn’t want to move? You guessed it, the daughter who will be a HS Senior next year! LOL!</p>
<p>Kathi, yes my daughter would like a bit of an urban vibe, if possible. Finding more affordable schools that fit the bill would be great. Thanks also for the Navigator suggestion.</p>
<p>Gadad, that is very encouraging! Our daughter has always been a very good student and goes to one of the best high schools in the state. However, I don’t know how she’d do against the competition for one of the competitive schools she’d like to attend - I guess, we’ll have to scrutinize the student profile info and apply for those that seem feasible.</p>
<p>bl, thanks for mentioning the SUNY schools - you are right that they tend to be more reasonably priced. So far, none of them has clicked as a good candidate (I personally like the idea of SUNY Purchase, but my daughter will probably be an Accounting/Business or Math major and that school emphasizes other majors. My stepdaughter went to Oneonta, was very unhappy there, and transferred after her Freshman year. I guess that has put us off on the SUNY schools), but we may need to revisit the SUNY possibility.</p>
<p>Lergnom, it helps to know that colleges do consider having another child in college.</p>
<p>Thanks to all of you! I learned about this site from my Dental Hygenist when I recently had a checkup. I’m so glad she mentioned it and I checked it out! When it comes to searching for scholarship money online, I assume there are good, safe sites and some others that are not. This information may be elsewhere on this site, but being new, I have a lot to learn! I really appreciate each and every one of you taking the time out of your day to make these suggestions to me! Gratefully, DoveMom</p>
