[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend attended there and loved it. We looked into it for our child who ended up at Bryn Mawr. But ultimately she didn’t apply for two main reasons. 1. It was across the county. 2. It gives no merit aid (unless that’s changed). I know it’s supposed to be a good school, although it doesn’t participate in rankings. But I wouldn’t say it’s a better school than similar SLACs that do give merit for strong students. Since we didn’t qualify for aid, it would just have felt foolish to spend all of that money when similar schools did help meet the cost. If money is no object, I think it’s the kind of school where you’d probably have to visit to see if you liked the fit. My child really likes Bryn Mawr, but even with taking classes at Haverford one down side of very small schools is that there aren’t that many class offerings. [/quote]
Yes, kid would definitely have applied if they had some merit aid. It is a shame because they have the endowment: they offer no merit as part of an equity philosophy, but they end up with a barbell student distribution as a result.[/quote]
