What colleges give really good merit aid?

And are any of them in VA?

Your DC have extended time? What % of kids in class have them? If no to first and high percentage to second, then difficult unless your DC managed to still be top 1% of class.

I don't think PP is on the wrong thread. I think PP is implying that only kids who have extended time on testing (and score high!) or those in the top 1% of their class receive merit scholarships.

It's not true. Try the many colleges in Ohio, OP. What's your budget?

Sorry, no advice for your question but man is this a stupid and uninformed comment.

Why is this question beyond vague? I imagine there are people here who have a kid or know of someone who got a large merit scholarship. If so, they could share that info.
