[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an average child grade wide who doesn’t play sports or have any other hooks. And we’re white and middle class. Am I to assume child won’t receive any merit aid or scholarship? I’m looking at the college price tags and trying to figure out what’s realistic. If merit was a miracle, would it only be for like $5k or something hardly worth considering for OOS or private?[/quote] My kid who had a 3.7 unweighted (from a good public high school) and 4.2 weighted got into 7/10 schools she applied to (all small liberal arts colleges). Those that were "2nd tier" (think SLAC ranking between 30 and 90 on USNWR) all offered her at least $20,000 merit aid. Actually, the one exception was SMCM, which only cost $25,000 to attend at the time, they offered her 5K.) So, don't lose hope but do cast a wide net. [/quote]
