[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who are full pay for undergrad, will you make your DC use loans to pay for law or med school or help them out? Both DCs talking about law/med, and we hadn’t planned for this. Because of our income they won’t qualify for aid.[/quote]

It wouldn't matter that you "qualified for aid."  That's an undergrad thing.  They don't give financial aid to law students.  It's merit aid or student loans.[/quote]

False. Financial aid exists for law school. Once again you fill out the FAFSA.[/quote]

[b]Yea, loans.[/quote][/b]

Some law schools (not Harvard) offer merit for students they want - usually URM.  Scalia Law offers full tuition scholarships for students with extremely high GPAs and LSATs, etc.  The further you go down in rank, the more money you might find if your student is a strong applicant.  Remember, these schools have to report test scores and GPAs.  While some of the top schools claim they no longer cooperate with USNWR, they still report the scores to the ABA, and the ABA gives it to USNWR, so nothing has really changed. [/quote]

You people are idiots.  That’s MERIT aid. It’s not based on financial need. [/quote] many law and med schools provide merit aid to lots of students these days, and some also provide need-based aid. Top ones have their own loans for students that are better rates and higher limits than federal loans. Heck I got merit aid at a T10 med school 23 years ago as a white kid, and spouse got law school merit aid at a T5 law school. It is not new but there is more $ available now. [/quote]
