[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merit aid is generally speaking a carrot to attract top students in the RD round. There is no incentive to give merit aid to an ED student bc ofc it is binding. That is why you should not apply ED if you are hoping for merit aid. Not everywhere always, but [b]generally speaking[/b] - you do not receive merit aid if you apply ED.[/quote] +1 While it is possible to get merit aid from some schools in ED (typically lower tiered schools), the thought process should be---if you are applying ED, you want to come and it's binding, so why does the school need to "attract you with dangling merit aid". They already know you want to attend, so while they might give some merit aide, it seems logical that they will give more to EA/RD students as a way to attract top students in that round. [/quote]
