[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hey OP again - I'm not trying to crap on my neighbor and I don't obsessively read this forum. Just trying to figure out what ED really means, when I'm paranoid that colleges will just take all the money we have and tell us to clap at graduation.[/quote] ED = full pay If that’s not for you, wait for RD. Apply widely. To reduce costs, apply to some schools that have a reputation for giving merit aid AND are a few tiers below your DC’s targets - meaning, schools where your DC’s GPA and test scores put them in the top 25% of the published range. The best way to get merit money is to be a star applicant compared to the school’s general pool of applicants. Lots of threads on here identifying colleges that tend to be generous with merit money for kids who are over-qualified compared to the typical student at that school. [/quote]
