[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is going to Wooster next year and got a lot of merit aid. Here are some schools where I know of people getting a lot of merit: Ohio Wesleyan provides automatic merit if you have minimum stats, Susquehanna, Case Western, Duquesne, University of Hartford, Muhlenberg, Chapman University, John Carroll University, Roanoake College. Obviously, there are others - this isn't an exhaustive list. Plus, who knows where your kid will get in and what things will look like in several years. I'm amazed at the rejections/deferrals that some of my dd's classmates are receiving.[/quote]

Hi fellow (potential) Fighting Scot!  My DS just got a $37,000 College Scholar offer from Wooster EA.  We’ll have to see how RD falls out in March and if he is admitted to WM, but Wooster is a  very real possibility. We were very impressed with the school and he loved it.  We may see you in August.

I really wanted my DD to apply to Wooster.  :([/quote]

Congrats to your kid!  Just out of curiosity, what is the typical Wooster student from this area like?  The reason why I couldn't get DD to apply is that she knows no one there.  I've read very good things about it, however, and know one grad, a PhD in biology.[/quote]

I’m the PP.  My kid is nerdy and introverted. Wants to get a science PhD. Preference for LACs with small class size, good undergrad science research opportunities, good science grad school admissions and a thriving non-major music community.  Really wants to find a student body [b]where kids are smart, nice, and down to Earth[/b].  High stats kid so Wooster was one of two safeties.  Other schools that meet these criteria are Oberlin, Macalester, St. Olaf and maybe Kenyon.  Going a bit bigger, Rochester, Case, Pitt (the other safety) and WM. [/quote]

I think that your kid sounds great!  Best wishes![/quote]
