[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My OOS son with pretty high stats, excellent ECs, LORs, and legacy received a direct admit to their Leeds Business school, but no merit aid. We are surprised as he received a ton of merit from a more highly ranked school. Also saw on College Confidential that students with lower stats received merit. Curiuos what their selection process is?[/quote] Again, this is very typical for CU Boulder. A broad generalization: they use their location to attract OOS $$ rather than using $$ to attract OOS high stats applicants. Also, which school within the university probably matters - perhaps the kids getting some merit you saw on CC were applying to a less-popular school, not Leeds. Also, most merit discounts are relatively small. The way CU reports scholarship amounts can be confusing (especially when reported excitedly in internet forums), as they often give the four-year total, which obviously is a much smaller amount for 1 yr.[/quote]
