[quote=Anonymous]I love the 50-100 merit aid schools. They weed out the prestige-or-bust crowd, which lowers the intensity on campus. The merit aid eases the urgency for instant ROI, which creates a little space for kids to explore interests for the sake of curiosity alone. It’s a little easier for kids to access opportunities. The professors are still great, but the vibe is more relaxed. There’s less of a socioeconomic barbell effect. If my kid were gunning for McKinsey I might think twice about eschewing the top schools, but otherwise merit aid seems the way to go. [/quote]
