[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son just got merit aid from three schools and we didn't fill out a fafsa.[/quote]

Our DC got large scholarships at multiple schools, no financial aid form (this was two years ago). The offers came with the acceptance letters. All were match/safety SLACs, all top 50, name brand schools (at least to the DC crowd). Of course DC went to a school that offered no aid. [/quote]

What grades/scores for your kids? And where did they end up going?

I have a DD with an 85 gpa, scores in English off the charts, math barely above average.

I worry DD won't get any aid, but we can't afford to send her to a SLAC without aid, and I'm sure that's where she needs to be. She would be lost in a huge state U, which is all we can afford (in-state).

So, I'm curious -- were your kids top of the charts in grades/scores -- is that why they were offered so much money when neither one applied?

Thanks for your answers. I'm so stressed out about paying for college that I can't sleep.[/quote]
