[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer OP’s question, schools that offer merit aid will outperform in an environment where full retail price has become borderline ridiculous even for those who can afford it. They will get the best and the brightest and eventually become the schools with the strongest student bodies (which will even attract students who are indifferent to cost). Need blind financial aid will be a problem esp for schools below the Ivy tier. Merit aid schools will scoop up all those super qualified donut hole kids (whose numbers grow every year). Smart need blind schools will start initiating merit aid programs fast. [/quote]

It was good to see F&M make that switch this year.  Would like to see it next tier up.[/quote]

Did they? Good for them. Last year it was the only school that did not offer DC a dime. It made the decision to turn it down easier for sure.[/quote]

I started another thread a couple of days ago listing the schools with the highest tuition--Franklin & Marshall was #1 on the list.[/quote]
