[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any schools promise merit aid before applying ED? I’d love for DC to apply ED to a school that does give merit but only if we know it will be awarded. [/quote] Run the NPC for the school. Many will indicate that the student is eligible for merit. Then screen shot it. If you apply ED, get in, and the merit doesn’t come through, then you can withdraw and not be held accountable. But if they offer you the merit and you still can’t afford it OR if they don’t indicate that the student will get merit and you apply ED anyway, then you’re stuck. Obviously, this isn’t the deal for tippy top schools but many at or below T50 will let you know about merit through the NPC. To the OP- if you allowed your student to apply ED without any sense of what merit might be coming, you were naive and your student may be held accountable when he/she turns down an acceptance. I think the schools do flag their common app in these cases.[/quote]
