[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question, with all due respect: Why should a student with those credentials deserve "merit" aid? Where's the "merit?"[/quote] My understanding is that many schools give merit aid to try to draw in kids who would be above-average level for their particular school, right? Trying to figure out how low down you need to go for schools to be interested in doing that for a kid like this. [/quote] A kid who is basically a 3.5 student with a 1200-1300 is not going to be above-average at any college anywhere. Do you qualify for financial aid? If not, I think you should expect to pay full pay and not chase merit at all.[/quote]
