Is this a balance list?

<p>Very good stats…congrats.</p>

<p>With his stats, he could get some merit $$ at some privates and some OOS schools. Therefore, if paying for USC ($53k+ per year), UMich ($48K per year - Wow!! a lot of $$$ for state school), or even a UC school ($27k a year) may be an issue…you need some “back ups” :)</p>

<p>Since you say that paying for college won’t be easy (and many of S’s choices will cost over $200,000 for undergrad), you should at least include a few schools as a Financial Safeties.</p>

<p>Is this your only child? Will you ever have 2 or more kids in college at the same time (I have 2 in college right now).</p>
