[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got into Drexel but did not attend. He did like the area around campus, however School didn’t click for him. But it does seem to offer good programs in an urban setting. If you are interested in coops, it seems like a solid option.

I also found the school to be expensive for what it is. I say this as someone who is comfortable paying full OOS tuition at schools like CU Boulder or Pitt. My kid was offered very little merit at Drexel. He was not a top student (UW 3.7, 1390 SAT, 6 APs at public) but good. I believe some receive very generous merit. [/quote]

DS has a 3.75 weighted (3.25 UW) and Collegevine says Drexel is a safety with a 97% prob. of admission.  We ran the NPCs. $18K merit if we use the 3.75 and $7.5K if we use 3.25. Expensive, but then even Pitt costs about $45K in tuition and fees OOS..[/quote]

I am the pp whose son had the 3.7 UW.  He probably would have about a 4.3 weighted (school didn’t calculate weighted). I am not sure if the NPC considers need. He only receive $7500 merit per year from Drexel (we did not apply for need based aid). Hopefully your son will do better!  Good luck![/quote]

Interesting. Our NPC does not factor in any need-based aid. Ran this about a month ago using the 3.75 GPA.
