[quote=Anonymous]My family is full pay but both of my kids took offers at places that gave them merit aid, in part because they understand money and in part because merit aid made them feel like the school wanted them. We compared the schools and prices of all their choices once the results were out. One of my kids also accepted to a place where he got zero merit --- and we said we would pay because of the specific major/program, but in the end, he picked his first choice that included substantial merit. My other kid was on the waitlist for a school that was likely to end up with no merit (because he of waitlist) but she decided to pull her application and just commit to the other school that offered aid. We would have paid for a specific reason but we didn't need to.[/quote]
