@tonymom preach! college is SO expensive:(
@preppedparent 100%. The schools are great, I guess I just didn’t realize how great. Also I’m on the east coast so that’s probably a large aspect of it
@MassDaD68 good point
@AnxiousHam We live on the East Coast too. But my two students attend California schools, UCB and Pomona. Turns out all colleges want geodiversity, so your chances of getting into highest caliber schools go up the further from home you go. Look at the California colleges–great opportunities for East Coasters like us!
Oh, cool! Thanks for the advice! @preppedparent good luck to your kids!
@poblob14 , I thought you were being sarcastic 
@prepparent My son has been communicating with the XC coach out at Pomona for months now. I had never heard of it and was pleased to learn that it accepted very smart students. My son would definitely not be a stand out over there. He would be just a normal student which is good but not something that will create lots of merit aid. Then again, by CA standards I am probably poor. hahaha.
