[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't some schools offer aid even in ED?

I am looking at Villanova and they list deadlines for financial aid, even with ED.   Or am I misunderstanding something?[/quote]

There are many sources of aid, most of which are not based on merit and most of which have deadlines that must be met.[/quote]

Many still offer aid with ED.  However, you cannot review aid results from other colleges if you apply ED.  And really, if you are applying ED, they have no reason to give you any merit aide (non-financial based aide)---you are already committing to the school by applying ED.  So many suspect it can hurt your merit aide certainly at many unviersities

Our experience is that merit aid was fairly predictable--schools don't have flexible, open pockets of merit aid they can use--you can look at the range of possible merit aid offers and their likelihood given your kids scores and still make an informed decision.  [/quote]
