[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kid’s stats are decent you will get something. A token discount of 15-25k. Schools know even with ED, not many can pay full pay and that doesn’t do anybody any good.[/quote]
Are you speaking from experience or what you think?[/quote]

NP here.  This is generally NOT true.  Do not depend on false information, OP.  This is why there are so many applicants to certain schools, because the $80k schools are untouchable for most people (assuming they have the stats and are top of their class).[/quote]

It IS generally true. [/quote]

Most T30 schools do NOT offer merit scholarships to students who do not qualify for need-based aid.  There are limited exceptions such as e.g. Duke (1% of freshmen), Swarthmore (2% of freshmen), Wesleyan U. (2% of freshmen).

Swarthmore and Wesleyan are not T30 though. They are SLACs[/quote]

If you are going to be that technical, Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Rice, Notre Dame, UCLA, Cal, Georgetown, Michigan, UVA, USC, UCSB, Florida, UNC, Wake... all offer tons of aid that isn't tied to need.[/quote]

Georgetown does not offer merit aid as many have told you. Straight from their website.
