[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My D (35ACT, 800/800 Subject tests, 4.2 GPA) only applied EA because we wanted to compare costs. Early decision is too risky if you do NOT qualify for non-need based aid. She applied EA at most places, and regular at the rest. [b]So far, 2 merit awards that essentially gave her a free year of undergrad at each school. [/b] Sounds like someone on this thread has a DC who applied ED and may break the contract if the merit aid is not enough. [/quote] Wow! congrats and great gpa and test scores! Check to see if they are committing to all four years though. I've heard of some bait-and-switch tactics used by LACs. Once you're kid is there suddenly the deal changes - or the merit aid was for only the first year. Just check everything.[/quote]
