[quote=Anonymous]We looked at CC, but we’re a full pay family and the lack of merit aid was surprising. I think of CC’s competitors as being schools like Whitman, Oxy, Macalester - all of which give higher merit awards. DS may still apply to CC because merit aid can change year to year and there’s no way to know before he applies, but I’m not optimistic. Skidmore is another example of a relatively average LAC that is need aware but doesn’t offer merit aid and so is losing out on full pay families. You would think schools that are tuition dependent would want a student whose family might pay $75K (but won’t pay $95K). I think a lot of families are in a similar position - yes, we could pay full tuition, but we’re not going to without a good reason. There are a lot of families that will full pay for an Ivy or Top 10 LAC, but if it looks like their kid is headed to a midrange LAC, they are going to steer them to one with more substantial merit.
