<p>I am wondering if anyone else is looking over the final lists and thinking a financial safety(state school) is a good idea? I think our state schools,(SUNY) will have more applications this year because if it. We make too much to get need based aid, so we are already aiming at private schools where DS would be in the top tier of applicants, to better his chances of merit money. It kind of eliminates reach schools. MY husband did not even want him to apply to some schools because of cost.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
