[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was offered full tuition at several small slacs you've never heard of (and not in his major) so he declined all.[/quote]

Why did he even spend time and money applying to them?[/quote]

[b]Can you say which?[/quote][/b]

Oof!  They really were out of the blue.  I think something like Virginia Wesleyan and something Trinity. Both small southern slacs that did not have engineering, which is what DS wanted.  I actually took the phone call from the schools (this was a while ago) so could tell exactly what they were after. After figuring out I was the dad, they said they wanted to offer X the "Blank blank blank scholarship" of full tuition due to his 34 ACT.  I said "Well, it's now a 36 because he retook it". I then heard a rustling of papers and the AO said "OK, then we can offer him the full President's scholarship at X dollars plus stipend".  All of this information can be bought by the colleges via the testing services (big money maker).  Your child can opt out of that when taking the exam if they wish.  That will stop calls and emails[/quote]
