be careful with that, because you may actually be judging their availability of fundsquote:by OS-8: "Based on that, I guess you wait for the dollar offer, but, the point of my post was to start paring down the schools interested in my kid."
& not "true interest"
good explaination by Prepster, but keep in mind TR's comment about schools handling it differently
SOME CAN DO IT . . a coach explained to me how HIS school handles scholly accounting - very similar to above, EXCEPT for tuitions -quote:by OS-8: "I would find it hard for a "certain out-of-state" university to defray much of the $40,000 annual cost to a parent of a player"
their tuitions are EXACLY that - "a tuition credit" - if one tuition is split 50/50 between an in-state & out-of-state student, there will be a LARGE DIFFERENCE in the DOLLAR effect on the student's INVOICE - (a much higher dollar value to the out-of-stater, of course)
yet in his NCAA compliance accounting he simply used ONE tuition out of his 11.7
hope that helps
