[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was offered over $30k in "merit based" $$ from several schools. I was dismayed because he was recruited for crew and we were told these prestigious schools don't give boys $$ for crew. I put merit in quotes because he had a 2.6 gpa in high school. [/quote] Wow. Where? I've heard of this happening, but the stories get a little hazy. I know a kid who got some sort of merit scholarship to attend Cornell. The kid is a superior athlete and a good student, but the scholarship seemed a bit fishy to me. It made me think he got a scholarship for one thing, but the real reason Cornell gave it to him was because of his athletic ability. (He was not eligible for FA.) I've also noticed when looking at the Common Data Set for various colleges, that some colleges that claim to not offer merit aid, actually do have some merit scholarships, Sarah Lawrence comes to mind as one example.
