<p>Okay… just saying that someone who does not know the abbreviation “LAC” should not be posting broad advice for “how it is done”. And so what for how you came by the money – you clearly did not have to worry about finances, and that completely skews the search process when you are one of the lucky few who did not. Just don’t keep reposting your list (this is the 2nd thread) of “useful” tips. They are at best marginally useful to most of the students and parents looking for colleges.</p>
