More decisive and intelligent adults, please help me?

<p>When I mean "substantial", I mean that combined with need aid of little to no loans (I don't know our EFC yet, but we are a mid-income family and will have 2 kids in college) and merit aid, the total cost could drop down to around the same price as the University of Washington's in-state cost, which is about $18-20,000</p>

<p>So considering that it'll be out-of-state or private, it is a bit of a stretch.</p>

<p>Thanks for your advice! :D</p>
