[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question, with all due respect: Why should a student with those credentials deserve "merit" aid? Where's the "merit?"[/quote] Obnoxious question. Schools award merit aid for different reasons. Usually/often when a student's credentials are above their average and they're eager to recruit that applicant to choose their school. There are many schools for which the credentials OP shared are above average. OP - You'll want to double check this, of course, but the first two schools that jumped to mind for me were Loyola MD and Marist. We know kids at both schools with similar stats that were offered good merit aid.[/quote]
