[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I love the 50-100 merit aid schools. [/b]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]

Which schools are these? [/quote]

I like this perspective. This list might be helpful in determining the 50-100 merit aid schools. You can sort by % receiving merit: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/merit-aid[/quote]

Interesting list! 
FWIW, my kid received more than the average noted for the schools where they were 75%+ on ACT/SAT scores.[/quote]
