Question: did the Wooster emails come with Merit Aid offers? Ours didn't mention it at all.

DD's merit aid offer came with her acceptance. But we didn't file FAFSA. Seems possible that anyone who is applying for financial aid has a separate process where all aid is offered at once. [/quote]

Maybe... but we're donut hole family so I'd think the dean's list scholarships, the ones that offer merit aid  without an application would be the ones we'd get. It's 73k and we can't afford anything near full freight, so I guess that makes it an easy out.

They did send us something a few weeks ago encouraging DD to apply for scholarships, but she didn't--kind of an overwhelming time of year with everything due. Wooster was a reach and I don't think she put as much into it as some others--they may have thought it made more sense to offer merit to kids who interviewed, toured, etc.

So maybe there's a moral here: show interest!! Even in the schools you think might be a reach! [/quote]

I'm still crossing my fingers for your DD, but it's good to have an easy out, too, especially at that price tag. Wishing very good luck to her![/quote]

Yeah, she's another ASD ADHD kiddo with not-perfect stats, so Wooster is a feather in the cap, but she's had some triumphs already. And maybe closer to home is better.

Grats to all! Keep the good news rolling! [/quote]
