[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son applied with a 3.1 gpa and got $25k. Beautiful campus, smaller classes. He is going to study abroad this spring. [/quote]

Wow.  With a 3.1?  They must accept anybody!  Not a dis, just sayin'.[/quote]
Why is the COA so high if they give so much merit to a 3.1?  Just bring the COA down to $50K, and give smaller merit to students with a higher GPA/SAT.

LM is on my DC's list, and they have a 3.7 (weighted 4.5) with a 1440 SAT.  Would they get more merit?[/quote]

Last year my son with these stats got merit aid of $40k/yr which brought it pretty close to  UMD in-state. He wanted a big school environment and is happy at UMD. Also, we were surprised that he received about 30 credits for APs at UMD which I don't think would have happened at Loyola. Technically, he could save a year in tuition but he is adding a second degree instead. For my second kid who is more of a B+ student, we plan to visit several  Jesuit schools as we think the smaller environment will be better for him and he also likes an urban setting which is where most Jesuit schools are.[/quote]
