[quote=Anonymous]GW's always done this. They charge certain students full-freight - those with rich parents or international students. Then they can offer full-tuition merit scholarships to the kids they are trying to attract from various backgrounds. So I got a full-tuition scholarship there based on my national merit status (top 1%ile SAT scores, 4.3 GPA), which was a godsend, because we didn't qualify for need-based aid. (my dad made an ok living but we were in debt due to medical bills from a chronic illness.)[/quote]
