[quote=Anonymous]Class of 2028
1430 SAT, 3.9 GPA

HHI $250K
529s and retirement on track 
Inexpensive house by DMV standards
No need at $50K per year level, full pay Ivy would be rough

Cornell ILR - RD waitlist so no info, NPC suggested slight discount on OOS tuition.

Michigan - In-State - $0.  Usually free financial aid up to $180K HHI.

Indiana O'Neill OOS  - $10K merit per year.  Still way more than Michigan in-state.

MSU - In-State - went to Honors College scholarship day with test.  No big $$ offer.  So invitation to apply further for smaller named scholarships.  MSU is very generous with Honors College kids from our school.

Pitt OOS - applied at December 1 deadline.  Dietrich.  $5K merit.

At Michigan.

Not surprised or upset merit offers were low.  Some tactical mistakes were made and it's likely that other schools could have figured out DC was most likely to end up at Michigan no matter what.

Mistakes included refusing to prep more than minimally for SATs, not doing a 2nd test cycle, not applying earlier to all schools.

Kid is really enjoying Michigan.  In-state cost fits within our budget.

On to DC #2's planning cycle.[/quote]
