[quote=Anonymous][quote]how do you estimate how much merit aid you would get an an OOS school?[/quote]

Not related to JMU, and generalizing here. There is no way we could have anticipated the merit results. DC applied to 7 OOS publics. The costs completely reordered once merit/no merit was awarded. Only one of the schools had a chart, a very straight forward chart: this GPA + this SAT = $. But that school disappointed us when DC tried to get more $ based on a new SAT score and they wouldn't adjust what they had awarded. Overall DC got merit from 5 or 7 but it was a big range. DC got generous merit from one university but was not admitted to the honors program, while a friend from her same high school was admitted to honors and received no merit aid. Strange. Apply early in the year, DC did for all, EA if possible. Maybe that mattered. The merit vs no merit was all over the map. DC did not apply to the few most expensive or most competitive OOS publics

Apply very widely if you're chasing merit. Don't make any assumptions.[/quote]
