[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke, Tulane and Vandy.  Midsized privates in competitive conferences.[/quote]

Here’s the complete list for my kid:

Stanford
Northwestern
Duke
Notre Dame 
Michigan
Vanderbilt 
USC
Wake
Tulane 
SMU

[/quote]

From this list, which schools give more that a handful of merit awards?  Maybe USC (though they are reducing merit aid)?  SMU?  Don't know about Wake or Tulane.

For merit awards, you need to look for schools outside the T30.[/quote]

SMU definitely.  USC is automatic if you are NMF.

After that, Tulane is more generous with merit, but maybe for 20% of the top kids…and then it drops off a cliff.

SMU gives a bunch of merit and has the highest acceptance rate.

Michigan of course is a huge school…if that’s on the list then why not every decent school?[/quote]

USC recently slashed the amount they give to NMFs to a flat $20k/year. [/quote]

$20K per year is not bad at a T25 for a family not eligible for need-based aid. USC is by far the easiest merit aid to get a highly competitive school.[/quote]
