[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a college give you merit aid if you are applying ED? What incentive do they have to lure with aid?[/quote] So you're talking about schools where merit aid is handed out to students they like, not based on merit in any verifiable way?[/quote] That's what "merit" is. It's "market" price for a student who adds value to the school and is letting schools compete. [/quote] +1. Usually the top schools don’t offer merit aid because they don’t have to - they can fill their classes with what they want without having to hand out money. Our DS received no merit offers from top Publics and Ivies but very generous merit offers from tiny colleges that you’ve never heard from because they wanted his ACT score to report to USNWR [/quote]
