[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD attends an elite private in the South. She gets good, but not great grades (A- minus average), has a 1510 and does good activities (a few school clubs). She's a STEM oriented kid with artsy hobbies (she likes to sketch and do art projects with friends).  She wants to major in a science, possibly pre-med, and we are looking for a school that's not too geographically remote so that she doesn't have take multiple forms of lengthy transportation.  Also looking for a school where there's residential life, club structure of advising/clubs since she is pretty quiet and needs some help with socializing in a larger group.  We likely can't afford the $90K/year price tag for elite private colleges, but she would like to leave the state we live in and attend college in a blue state. Which schools give substantial merit aid to such a student?[/quote]

UVM will give merit…nearly all the 2nd tier LACs (go to USNews LAC rankings and look at anything ranked like 15+) will probably give something so just look at ones in NY, NJ, New England.

Macalster in MN will give something.

+1 on Macalester. We thought it was a generous offer.[/quote]
