[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid applied ED to a top college and the cost is 80K.  (And if you are not eligible according to FAFSA. Late in filing CSS.).  Will they care to offer you  any merit scholarsship at all or you have pretty much sealed your fate with the ED checkbox? [/quote]

Where does your kid stand in their disclosure of top 25% SATs and GPA? And is the school ranked below 50 if it is a university?[/quote]

Near top for SAT, GPA, rigor, ECs.  No other hook.  School is top school for sought after STEM major. University is T30. [/quote]

This is the pp. Suggest you Google Common Data Set for the university. That will tell you how much merit aid is offered, if any. You can check to see if there are any departmental scholarships to which he can apply. The good news is that since he is top of the heap at a top 30, he will definitely qualify for sole merit at lower ranked schools. What about UMCP’s honors program?

This is a hard situation, OP. I was in your shoes two years ago.[/quote]
