[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that mentioned getting merit aid, can you please ID a few of the schools? [/quote]

Muhlenberg offered 25k “President’s Scholarship” and 5k scholarship for their honors program. If son chooses to attend, we’ll be paying 15k below EFC. Look at the schools ranked 40-100 in the USNWR liberal arts rankings. There’s gold in dem dar hills for the high stats kids.[/quote]

This is great advice. My DS got merit aid at all his likelies - including Whitman College, Dickinson, Beloit, Union College. He was happy with all of them and ended up at Dickinson which he loved from the first visit. He got waitlisted from his target schools and nos from all his reaches.

His advice to his sister? concentrate on safeties and super-safties that are great fits for you and only a couple target/reaches (but you won't get in) so love those safeties. Sister is on her way to a stress-free college experience.

Writer is correct - there are some real gems in the 40-100 rankings of US News. That's where we are living with the next two kids.

Good luck everyone! [/quote]
