[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to weigh in with a no. The sentence that stands out to me is: we can not afford anything beyond UMCP. I will take that at face value. I do not think you should encourage other schools and then disappoint him when you can not afford it. Maybe you could also add St Mary's to the list. Merit aid is risky. No way to count on it. It will be all over the board, but unlikely to bridge the gap. And costs of attendance always seems to increase and push one's limits. Also you don't want your son to be in the position if he doesn't meet the gpa after a semester or two, he can no longer afford to attend. In most cases merit aid needs to be gravy - an added bonus, making a school more attractive that is already affordable.[/quote]
