[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even some lower tier schools will try to "game" you, insist you visit for a chance at decent scholarships[/quote] And this is “gaming” applicants...how? Do you think it is unfair for a college to want to vet a candidate in person before handing over another $50,000? [/quote]It's gaming when the school gives under 2 weeks notice for the scholarship visit, and it's across the country. How many people can swing airfare for a kid and accompanying adult, plus lodging, plus get time off work to travel, with 12 days notice? All with the hoe that you'll get one of 8 big scholarships? I priced it out at close to 1800 in costs...And there was no offer of airfare or lodging for the student[/quote] When my DC was invited to compete for additional merit money, the school provided plenty of advance notice, and paid travel and lodging expenses.[/quote]
