[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re UMC and unfortunately fall into the category of unlikely to qualify for aid although paying full is a big investment, doable but not ideal. However, DC still has eyes set on the likes of top ivies, Stanford, Duke, etc. I know the ivies don’t offer merit scholarships, but we noticed some top schools like Duke, Vanderbilt, UChicago, Johns Hopkins, etc. offer non-need based scholarships to some students each year. We know it’s a long shot but does anyone here have experience with any of these scholarships at top schools, and if so, what did your DC do to qualify and where else did they get in? Of course we’re prepared to save money by staying in-state too.[/quote] I think you have your answer with the Duke student. =-) Lots of tough courses, a job, write a book, etc. If you grew up speaking a non-English language, that may also help.
