[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son applied with a 3.1 gpa and got $25k. Beautiful campus, smaller classes. He is going to study abroad this spring. [/quote]

Wow.  With a 3.1?  They must accept anybody!  Not a dis, just sayin'.[/quote]
Why is the COA so high if they give so much merit to a 3.1?  Just bring the COA down to $50K, and give smaller merit to students with a higher GPA/SAT.

LM is on my DC's list, and they have a 3.7 (weighted 4.5) with a 1440 SAT.  Would they get more merit?[/quote]

Yes, your student would likely get a very generous scholarship package from Loyola MD. I don’t fully understand why college pricing operates this way, it would be great to have better transparency and consistency across the board so prospective students know the financials upfront (seems to be an issue across the board and not just at this particular college).[/quote]

Only a couple of schools have taken this approach.  Bridgewater College in VA very publicly reduced tuition from $40,000 to $15,000 and did away with giving everyone merit aid.

They claim it's been successful in increasing applications and enrollment.
