[quote=Anonymous]Most schools offer merit. My slightly above average student got merit at most schools she applied and she is attending OOS flagship at $32k a year. Had many choices including in state with merit at $20k a year. Younger DS excellent student, had some offers with significant merit but ultimately chose highly ranked private, it is $72k per year. When kids started college, 529 had $300k so rest we are paying out of pocket. It was a tough choice regarding second kid because he had some very attractive merit at Pitt, Ohio State and UMass. The bottom line is OP, you will have choices but very likely to get merit at top schools, they just don’t give it. So it will be your decision if you want to pay or not for the top schools—Duke, Vandy, Notre Dame, Swathmore, Georgetown if your kid is lucky enough to get in. HHI $400k[/quote]
