[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should look at liberal arts colleges that give merit aid. You might be able to get close to what the state schools cost and she could have smaller classes. [/quote] We tried this route with our older kids, and they didn't get enough merit aid (even at much lower-ranked schools) to fill the gap. Our older kids went to state colleges purely because of price. If anyone has a gifted kid who was/is happy at a lower-ranked school, please post. Thanks! [/quote] Where do you live? UVA, UMD are not "lower-ranked".[/quote] They are not top schools, objectively speaking. It doesn't mean that OP's DD will get in, though. She needs 4s and 5s on her APs and a nearly perfect SAT/ACT.
