[quote=Anonymous]We make more than 180K and our kids both got merit aid at decent LAC's. There's some formula you can find on College confidential.com that has to do with the size of the school's endowment, and it involves looking up the school's tax records, rather than going by what's on their websites. We're grateful that both of our children go to schools with really large endowment where there is extra money 'floating around' to finance summer internships in other cities, study abroad, etc. in addition to the merit aid. The poster above is incorrect when she says not to even bother. There are some schools where something like 80 percent of the students receive some financial aid. That includes people at the upper ends as well as the lower ends. Particularly people with multiple kids in college at the same time.[/quote]
