I thought we did all the hard stuff, but now acceptances are coming in. My D has applied to 12 colleges, 2 too many with hindsight. She has had two EA acceptances with decent scholarships, and I am very sure she will get at least four more, some with money also. Unsurprisingly, most of her other schools are unlikely to offer money.
It's now sinking in that she will have one month to revisit colleges and make a decision. She will do two accepted students days before April, but I am wondering how do kids and parents make the final decison? If we can afford to pay, how much do we let money influence the decision? Is it best to let her trust her gut? I never thought being offered money would suddenly make things seems different, but in truth, it does. Any insight, experiences, ideas appreciated.
