[quote=Anonymous]My DD recently graduated from a DMV private high school. She knew that we were price sensitive for college. She therefore did not apply ED anywhere, although she did apply EA to several schools. She ended up receiving significant merit awards at two schools ($45K and $30K per year), and somewhat smaller awards at several others ($15K/year), and chose the least expensive option on the table. Which fortunately was also her top choice once the dust settled on the entire process. We were not the only family chasing merit aid or otherwise focusing on price -- nor were the families concerned about cost limited to the FA families. There were some families focused on prestige but my impression was most people focused on fit. [/quote]
