[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got a substantial merit package at a SLAC in the T50-100 range and we could not justify the price difference with the higher ranked but not T20 schools. The gap was substantial. [/quote] +1 for us, with a budget of up to $40k, it was an in-state public or a school that gave substantial merit. Both kids only applied to reaches in-state (UVA for one, W&M for the other). The one who wanted the "big state U" experience focused on other in-state options, didn't love the OOS that gave some merit, and ended up at VT. The one that really preferred LACs didn't get into W&M but had plenty of safety options with LACs in the 60-80 ranking range that ended up costing less than W&M would have (although we'd have paid for W&M if she'd gotten in).
