[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would help to know the following:

Does she need financial aid or merit aid to attend?

What schools does she have in mind for her reaches?[/quote]

She needs some merit aid, but not a lot.

For her reaches she is in love with brown and Amherst, but we know that's huge lottery. Also on her list are Carnegie Mellon and case western reserve, both as reaches. The only school she is thinking of as a match is northeastern. Thank you! [/quote]

Brown does not give merit aid.  Only two of the NESCACs do - Trinity and Connecticut College (both of which would be matches).  That means Amherst, Tufts, Wesleyan and Bowdoin are not options if you need merit aid.  She might try researching outside scholarships if she decides these schools are her top choices.  Case Western does offer good merit aid.  She might like Villanova and they do offer merit aid. U of Rochester is a good suggestion.  [/quote]

This is good info. If you can't afford college without merit aid (but don't qualify for need-based financial aid) then start with lists of colleges that offer merit money.[/quote]
