[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparents for sure. In case it's helpful to know, I have a senior with a 3.17 GPA and a mediocre ACT, and I am surprised at the number of colleges that seem to be pursuing him and offering merit aid. These are not "top schools" but they are colleges that seem like fine places to go. So I haven't entirely found it to be the case that there is absolutely no merit aid available. (We have fully funded 529s and are UMC and so would not expect any aid.)[/quote] Op here. This would be great if that happens for our DC. Currently 3.8 GPA and 31 ACT, but there are so many smart kids around here.[/quote] I wouldn't believe posts like that. 3.17/so-so ACT will not get you merit aid from MOST schools. Now, they will send you post cards asking you to apply and telling (or misleading) you that you "may" qualify for merit aid. Those are all games. 3.8/31 is tough to get merit and tough for UMDCP admission. No good news here. [/quote]
