Well, financial papers go out no later than March. If they want him, the parents can be fairly aggressive with the school in terms of grants/scholarships

My younger has already collected a hair over $500k in renewing scholarships, but she's waiting to hear from her top choice, Hofstra. I've already told the admission counselor she needs a 3/4 scholarship at the minimum or it's a no go. He said he could guarantee that and maybe a full ride. So I told him, when we get the papers, you'll get the acceptance. Oral promises are nice, written ones are better

Tell his parents to ask about the money. Don't be shy, just ask what MERIT scholarships will be offered to him

$500k? Do you mean $50k? I mean, even the most expensive colleges still don’t cost much more than $200k total.
