[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post, with its mix of pseudo-nonchalance and type a worry, cracks me up.[/quote]

[b]Non-chalance stems from the fact that our state school is strong in child's area of interest.  If I lived in another state or if my daughter wanted to study another subject, I would be less relaxed[/b].[/quote]

But have you checked stats to see if your DC has the record to get in?[/quote]

If she does not continue to generate a record that is consistent with a [b]full scholarship at our flagship state U[/b], we won't need to worry about Ivies.   Second tier state U is pretty decent as well.[/quote]

OMG I hope you are URM or you are hopelessly out of tune.  Flagships don't give merit scholarships.[/quote]

I can't talk about all schools but UMD CP absolutely does..full merit scholarships and some that include stipends.

Those are partial and if like the Jefferson Scholarship at UVA are very difficult to obtain (Jefferson is also not run by UVA but by a separate organization).  DC got zero merit aid from state flagships.  The only merit aid he obtained was unsolicited from some small LACs you've never heard of who wanted his 36 ACT score.  Otherwise there is no "merit aid" at our flagships.  Any money they have goes to low-income and first-generation students, URMs or other special needs.[/quote]
