[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former NMSF myself, I can’t figure out for the life of me why anyone cares about this.[/quote] Lots of corporate scholarships available to those who meet the cutoff.[/quote] Right. The parents of SFS lifers who’ve spent $600,000 are in it for the merit scholarship. Definitely not for the ego boost. Definitely not. [/quote] Not everyone is full pay, but you knew that already, right?[/quote] Yes, I did, but 80% are full pay,a new how many are getting aid that is even 50% of tuition? It’s a great honor to make NMSF, don’t misunderstand me. But the vast majority of SFS, including most of those on aid, I suspect, if given a choice between (a) paying full freight at HYPS or (b) getting a 50% scholarship to G’town, or Duke, or Northwestern, would chose (a). Which means they aren’t in it for the scholarship dollars as much as for the resume padding.[/quote]
