[quote=Anonymous]Merit scholarships from colleges are generally just based on grades/test scores so the top priority is doing well in rigorous classes (don't overdo it on advanced classes if they can't keep up strong grades). Do activities they enjoy and can deepen involvement over time but really ECs don't mean that much. When the time comes, ID colleges where your student will be above the 75%ile in GPA/test scores AND have a record of giving strong merit aid awards -- that info is in their common data set. Know in advance that the highest ranked schools do NOT give merit aid. However, they can be more generous with need aid (but not all of them and that aid may be loans and needing aid may lower your chance of acceptance).[/quote]
