[quote=Anonymous]Do kids from this area get merit aid at top 50 private schools? I know the top 15 give no or almost no merit at all. But does dropping down a tad (like to Carnegie Mellon, Boston College, Lehigh, Case Western, Wake Forest, Richmond, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Skidmore, etc) increase chances for merit? I don't put a ton of stock in the rankings but schools like those seem to have some good academic opportunities. There are some great public universities that are affordable and would probably work for my other kids but for my introvert, we're hoping for a school that's not too big, if there are any where the price tag could drop to $50k or less with merit aid. (No need-based aid for us even with a middle-class income and 3 kids). Would love to hear your anecdotes! Thank you! [/quote]
