[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child with a low GPA and decent SAT scores (1200). We are full pay. I actually hated that there were a few schools that fit the profile of what he is looking for that were need blind. I wanted to find a way to signal to them (these are schools that need the money from tuition due to low endowments) that they'd get lots of our money if they'd just accept him despite his crappy GPA. One of these schools was both need blind and test blind. That school rejected him. Other schools that are better ranked, FWIW, but not need blind and not test blind, accepted him. And not only that, they showered him with over $30K in merit money each. Go figure. (These are all mid-level SLACs that the average American has heard of.)[/quote] Like what level SLAC. Are we talking Bucknell? Lehigh?[/quote]
