[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the previous poster with kid with 7 acceptances who won't be going to Maryland.  How do you get seven acceptances so early in the year ? Must be schools with rolling admissions.  My son hasn't heard from any of his schools except the one Ivy he applied EA and UMCP.  Most colleges allow only one early decision private school plus publics.  Most publics don't have much merit aid.[/quote]

Early action.

I won't disclose the names of the schools so as not to out my DD or myself.  Most are in the Midwest.[/quote]

Not that I doubt you, but I'm genuinely curious. Six SLACs in the midwest gave your DD $37K or more? That's quite surprising to me. My DD got into Dennison, which gave her $25K. They said that was the maximum merit aid they offered, except for a few free rides offered to very top students. DD did not get more than $25K from any school that accepted her. (Her stats were good, but not tippy top.) I'm thinking College of Wooster might be one of the schools?? But $37 in merit $$ seems like a lot, more than I've heard most SLACS offer. [/quote]
