One of the keys is to build a college resume that makes a school want you. A lot of Private schools have huge endowments and if they see you as a positive addition to their school, they will help you financially.

That happened to me, it cost my parents and I more to send me to UCONN, than it would have cost for me to go to Tufts, which is way more expensive. But Tufts didn't have accounting which I thought I wanted (ended up with Math), so I went to UCONN. We were fairly poor, so Tufts threw all kinds of money at me. Probably not the smartest decision I ever made, although UCONN has this amazing ice cream parlor with the best milk shakes on the planet...
Does what you describe happen a lot? There are SO MANY talented students out there with good resumes...my oldest will probably be a 3rd degree black belt and a straight A student when he graduates, we will see what that's worth, I'm not banking on much...
