[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is a surprising admission story or financial aid story, but my kid was accepted to their Pick #1 SLAC and Pick #2 SLAC. Price is the determining factor for our family. Pick #1 gave generous need based financial aid package with admission (institutional grant, no loans). Pick #2 gave even more generous merit based financial aid package with admission. Kid sent Pick #1 their financial aid letter from Pick #2 and said that while Pick #1 was their first choice they were going to have to go with Pick #2 unless they could match their offer. Pick #1 came back with increased need based aid package that exceeded that of the other school which sealed the deal for the kid. I didn't realize that schools that don't offer merit aid could compensate in this sort of way, but am happy it worked out like it did. [/quote]
