[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you share the school and test scores? I am trying to assess whether my dc has a shot at merit aid.[/quote] DC, with non-superscored SAT above 2100 and superscored SAT just under 2300, received merit aid awards (ranging from half tuition to full tuition plus room, board & stipend) from UMD, UVA, GWU, Pitt, Duke, Wash U, NYU, and Kenyon. [Based on merit awards offered/not offered to DC's friends, it seems to me that the threshold SAT score for receiving a merit scholarship -- even if DC were to have had a 4.0 unweighted GPA -- is 2000 (although one of DC's friends who was only able to raise their SAT superscore to the 1700s, received a $10K merit award from GWU).] [/quote] Really? My DCs scores are close to that and we don't expect any merit aid from some of those same schools.[/quote]
