[quote=Anonymous]You want the school your kid chooses to have a real stake in your kid’s success. That’s easier to accomplish if you are high up in their stat profile or have a talent that makes your kid attractive to the school. The so-called “merit aid” tells you how the school sees your kid. That stake in your kid helps if there’s anything complicated with your kid, where your kid might need a little more nurturing or room to mature. In Virginia for example, a kid with ADHD who has a strong profile on paper might consider how UVa or W&M will deal with managing the ADHD. If your kid is a dime a dozen at those schools, they can roll the dice and let the kid wash out while replacing that kid with another high-stats kid. But some of the more regional schools might have a little more incentive to work with the kid and help the kid grow, knowing the kid’s capacity if the ADHD is better mitigated not just with meds and techniques but simply age.[/quote]
