[quote=Anonymous]I agree that W&M is unique. But the larger issue, if you are seeking merit aid, is that your DD will need to be a top applicant. That means she will need to look at schools that aren't as well-regarded (if they were, they wouldn't need to offer merit aid to students like her). My DS, who ended up in-state at W&M, also considered: SUNY Geneseo UNC Ashville Mary Washington St. Mary's of Maryland Mary Washington Evergreen State He ended up applying to Geneseo, Asheville, and UMW and received significant merit aid from all 3--it would have been cheaper for him to attend any of these 3 than it was for us to send him in-state to W&M (which is a very expensive state school). (UMW, also in-state for us, would have cost us less than $10k, including room & board.) FWIW, he also got enough merit aid from Clark in Massachusetts and Wooster to bring the COA below that of W&M, but these schools are smaller.[/quote]
