[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swarthmore is not going to give merit aid and it is looks like it is really hard to come by at Claremont McKenna too. I'd start looking at liberal arts colleges ranked lower than 20 and go from there. [/quote] Yep, this. Haverford, Bowdoin, Bates, Williams--these schools offer financial aid only, no merit aid. You need to look lower down on the rankings and get out of the northeast to find good merit aid. With those stats, I'd thnk about Oberlin, Kenyon, Macalester, Grinnell as reaches (by which I mean financial reaches;I think he sounds like a good candidate for admission at these, the question will be whether he gets money). Cold places where he'd surely get aid: Dickinson, St Olaf, Denison, Beloit. Did you say you are in MD? I'd add St. Mary's College for an in-state option. If you want merit aid, DS needs to apply [b]now[/b]. Some early action deadlines are tomorrow. [/quote]
