[quote=Anonymous]This thread is interesting to me as a parent of a junior because we are trying to get some of these things ironed out up front but I'm seeing that it can't always be as clear as you might want it to be.  For instance my DD is planning to apply to a group of public schools where we think she will be eligible for merit money.  These are somewhat a tier down from where she could get in, think Denison or Dickinson for example.  She is also applying to places where she might get in but they have no merit or she may not get it - Bates, Kenyon, Georgetown.  I guess I could see a scenario where she gets into Georgetown and also Dickinson but doesn't get much or any merit for Dickinson.  We can make it work with no merit but it would be tighter (no loans though) but I honestly might try to sway her to take the Georgetown offer in that scenario because she will have more opportunities coming out of a school like that - and it will end up costing us the same.  Is anyone going through that?  In the end I would never force her to do something she doesn't want but I might try to make a strong case if I am investing a lot of money.  [/quote]
