[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I have an average child grade wide who doesn’t play sports or have any other hooks.[/b] And we’re white and middle class. Am I to assume child won’t receive any merit aid or scholarship? I’m looking at the college price tags and trying to figure out what’s realistic. If merit was a miracle, would it only be for like $5k or something hardly worth considering for OOS or private?[/quote] What "merit" is there in being an "average child" who doesn't do anything of any particular note?[/quote] Ignore this OP. Apply to schools where they are in 75 percentile, even if lower tier schools. And do some research as to which schools give merit and which don’t. My kid was higher stat for Penn state and nothing from them, which did not surprise me as they don’t give merit for being above average. Check out Miami Ohio. A few recent threads on this school. High acceptance rate and merit awards listed on their website. [/quote]
