[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were banking on merit which was foolish in hindsight. Older kids attend reaches and knew wouldn’t get merit. Youngest stats were over 75th percentile and strong application to a safety. It’s a mid-level school that will have typical low yield, but no shortage of applicants to fill seats. [/quote] You should not ED to a safety and expect merit. Some schools give merit in ED, some schools may be less generous giving merit for ED, because the entire point of merit is to entice a student to attend, which is not needed for ED. If what's done is done, you need to talk to the school ASAP to see if they can work something out for you with merit. Ultimately, you will be released from the agreement if you cannot afford it, but this is now stressful for you, the school, and your high school counselor. If the school is not willing to work with you on merit or need-based aid, then explain your change of circumstances and get released.[/quote]
