[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior kid (white male) has strong stats and rigorous schedule. We are crafting our college list and are avoiding the top 25 national schools due to the following assumptions: 1) we really can only afford $40k COA 2) HHI around $350k so assuming no financial aid 3) feel the odds of acceptance for even strong stats are so low and then most likely couldn't afford. We are trying to be very upfront with him about what we can afford but I also want to make sure these assumptions are valid?[/quote] Some non-ivy T25 schools offer merit scholarships. [/quote] They may offer "a few merit scholarship" but not many. If it's 4% of students who get accepted, it's then less than 1% of those who get merit. So not very likely to happen[/quote]
