66% receive financial aid. It’s not all rich kids anymore. [/quote]

Where is your cite?[/quote]

66% received “some type of aid” meaning merit is included. Merit aid can go to rich kids, too. This didn’t ultimately support your claim. [/quote]

They don’t give much merit. [/quote]

Yet they do offer merit and it’s included in your stat that you wrongly suggested was financial aid. [/quote]

I’m not sure your beef here. It’s a great school. It’s not at all all rich kids. My kid is there and I’ve been on campus a good bit over the last few years. They are making huge strides in diversity, including economic. The merit aid pool is pretty small unlike many other LACs. [b]One of the only places my kid didn’t get any merit aid.[/b] Most they give is need- based of some description. The huge endowment allows them to meet 100 % need with mostly grants that do not have to be repaid. 66% get some kind of aid. It’s changed a lot over the last 10 years. You can claim it’s all rich kids all you want, but that is not the reality on campus. [/quote]

Correct.  They reduced the merit significantly now, move the money to fin aid.  [/quote]
