[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4.0 uw 36 ACT 5s on all AP exams this year got accepted to an Ivy, top SLAC, 2 T10s and 3 T20s... not a SINGLE one offered any merit aid (no matter what their website said). We don't qualify for any need-based FA. He did write emails to a few schools after acceptance, basically said nicely: your are SOL. Full-freight $90k/year. I find you have to go lower, lower---he was offered $25k year for 5 years from a T60 school. And he got into all top in-state schools. [/quote] My kid is similar -- was only granted some merit aid at GMU. If you want to chase merit, you will likely have to aim for lower-tier schools than your kid will want to attend.[/quote] GMU is already discounted because it is in state. Your student could apply for honors and if accepted could be in the running for their university scholars full tuition, competitive scholarship. [/quote]
