[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG. You're asking about financial aid?

I think you're asking because you're not used to paying tuition. One of my friends did the same thing. They have multiple houses and take trips to Europe...and want financial aid.

We make way less than you do and pay about $22k. You have to prioritize and budget differently. SMH[/quote]

Again, OP, I know three families that make &gt;$300k and get some merit based aid. [/quote]

The scholarships they offer are merit based so income is irrelevant.  They never ask for HHI before awarding them.

That said, the academic ones are pretty hard to get.  OP's kid would need straight As at Deal (easy) but also a 99% HSPT (fairly difficult) and some luck (harder still).  
My kid and several friends had several of these (straight Deal As and the 99% HSPT) but did not get offered merit aid.

It’s the “ a commitment to extracurricular involvement” verbiage that signifies it’s not just scholastic related. Again, kids get merit scholarships (mainly athletic), it’s not just a HSPT thing. [/quote]

There's no such thing as a merit scholarship for athletics.[/quote]

Lmao..you really believe that don’t you? Bless your heart. [/quote]
