JCGStill working on a clever handle

I think worrying about the baseball aspect and the academic aspect of college is enough for a 2017 grad to worry about -- let your parents figure out what colleges are going to be affordable and are financially healthy.

There's plenty of info out there on college financials. Bowdon has been around for a long time and has an endowment of over $1 Billion. I wouldn't worry about them. Bates has also been around a long time but has less then $250 million, so that could be a concern.

Looking at high academic schools I think that percentage of demonstrated need that is met is a good indicator of both your chances of getting enough aid and the financial health of the school. That's easy to find out, and there are also lists of which schools meet 100% of demonstrated need. Checking that list against your other criteria could be a good start, especially if your parents are expecting financial aid.
