[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are starting the search process, and I’ve been struck by how many schools there are that seem aimed at average students who don’t want financial aid. It’s a market niche, I guess. [/quote] Do you mean merit aid, or need based aid? Tons, a large majority, in any event, of colleges give need based aid. Merit aid independent of aid is a smaller set, but many of those include the most selective universities and SLACs.[/quote] It’s a little hard out there for those in the 1200-1400 SAT range seeking merit or FA. Can’t get into need-blind schools, nor would we get much aid at the ones below the tippy top anyway. Can’t get full tuition or full rides obviously at such at SAT range. A student in that SAT range would probably feel out of place at the most affordable state schools like Salisbury. [/quote]
