<p>*CPA who does not have a job right now.</p>
<p>My husband does but they don’t make anything close to what people think they make-we’re not lawyers!</p>
<p>URI is about 25K right now after tuition, fees etc.-that’s about the limit of what we can offer him.</p>
<p>I’ll look into the ACT.*</p>
<p>Well, if you can contribute about $20-25k, then if your son scores well on the SAT or ACT, then a good merit scholarship could reduce your contribution or at least give him more choices w/o increasing your contribution. :)</p>
<p>As for the ACT…schools are going to accept whichever test your child does the best on. You can always choose not to have the scores sent out, but I always had my kids take advantage of the free sends. Your child is still a junior, colleges don’t expect the highest scores to come from junior year. So…no big deal if the first ACT attempt isn’t the best. :)</p>
