[quote=Anonymous]CDS provides useful info on all kinds of things, but be careful around interpreting the info. Just because a school gives a lot of merit doesn't mean your kid will get a lot of merit. Most of the schools with more competitive admissions don't give merit aid. And in our (limited) experience, your DC is more likely to get merit aid at a school where their stats are way above average. That makes sense - schools use merit to attract high performers. Also be prepared to apply early - either EA or very early in a rolling admissions process. College Confidential forums have a lot of advice about hunting for merit. There are a number of schools that are transparent about merit aid. They publish on their website how much merit they award based on an applicant's stats. Again, it's a way of attracting top students. They often have honors colleges or other selective programs.[/quote]
