[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD applying to smaller schools, competitive LACs. For reference, HHI just under $200k, excellent ECs and LORs, 3.9 uw GPA from a strong private school. Chose to go TO bc of her learning disabilities, made the intentional decision to focus on grades and ECs over test prep in her junior year. It’s infuriating when people equate high test scores with intelligence, and being “deserving” of a slot at a T20. Her older brother had a similar application profile, many of the same ECs  but didn’t have the LD issue, 35 ACT and is currently at an Ivy. She’s just as smart as he is and it frustrates me when people online insinuate that TO applicants aren’t deserving of good acceptances. So far, in EA:
Oberlin $70k merit
Kenyon $75 merit 
Brandeis $45 Presidential Scholarship
Several others to schools that DCUM won’t care about, but are still solid schools. Waiting for RD, most of those are only need-based aid. I’m proud of her, especially because we offered to pay for test prep last year and she made the choice to go TO. [/quote]
I agree with you and nice options so far! Are the Kenyon and Oberlin merit amounts over 4 years?

My oldest child went TO two years ago and had some pretty nice options - even NESCAC schools like Wesleyan and Hamilton. '26 child got into her ED choice TO (W&M), but before she got that result back, she got acceptances to Pitt and Brandeis. I forget how much her Brandeis scholarship was - maybe around $40k?
