[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grinnell with merit, playing a sport there. DC happy although still a little torn about not having been able to apply full pay to some of the very selective SLACs. [/quote]

He didn’t apply to Grinnell as non full-pay, so I’m confused.  [/quote]

Not following the question. DC got merit beyond just the guaranteed discount amount for ED’ing. We knew what it would be ahead of time due to the sport connection.

DC had already struck from the list of options the schools at the very top of the SLAC list because they don’t give much merit and we aren’t in a position to pay $90 a year, yet don’t qualify for FA. DC’s happy but still a litttle wistful about one of the schools in that awesome but too pricey bucket. [/quote]

I’ll add that the kids at Grinnell are really happy and have fun. They do work hard but the East Coast hyper competition isn’t there. No competitive clubs. The Midwest kids largely had better high school experiences where they enjoyed learning and not just focused on admissions since middle school. [/quote]
