[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG I hope you are URM or you are hopelessly out of tune.  [b]Flagships don't give merit scholarships[/b].[/quote]

[b]Well that's strange, since both of my kids are attending flagship state universities with significant merit scholarships.[/quote][/b]

So they are not attending UNC, Berkeley or UVA.  The publics that don't have to, that are more elite, reserve the little money they have for financial aid. https://www.newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/flagships/

[b]Did you even read what you linked?  The very first line of the article says, "Many flagship institutions are very generous providers of merit aid."  Further, if you read the report behind the article, you'll see specific mention of UVA realizing that they may need to re-evaluating their approach in order to draw the best candidates.[/quote][/b]

Of course I read it.  It says that the publics that NEED to (in order to get a good student body), like Kentucky, do offer merit.  But it specifically the best flagships that don't have to buy students, don't, and then the cite UNC, UVA and Berkeley.  would you prefer that I get you another article?
