[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter went high academic D3 for lacrosse and was given 40K in scholarships from the school. Agree with the above comment. Sometimes merit is large at the D3 schools. The advice on D1 versus D3 for money is a complicated one. [/quote]

Agree.  My high academic D3 kid got $25K in merit.  But the award amount is only part of the story.  Should be looking at TCoA.  Even with that merit, we'll be paying $70K for college next year for her.  Also, remember that some of the high academics only give need based aid (or have a very small number of merit scholarships to award).  Flip side to all of this -- your daughter's options will be broader to the extent that you can comfortably pay close to $100K in tuition per year.  Many higher academic schools are not need blind.  If you are relying on a degree of merit to make the math work, I'd highly recommend asking for a financial pre-read alongside the academic one.  [/quote]

Exactly.  Even with merit, better academic d3’s are not cheaper than in state unless you get financial aid also.

That’s just the facts.  My DC plays another sports. We got max merit and still could not get it lower.  We were targeting top 100 schools.  Top 50 gives nothing.

Entirely true.  It is an economic analysis that takes into account both quantitative and qualitative factors.  For us, the quality of education, the campus atmosphere, opportunities to do research that would go to grad students at the big in state schools that fall to undergrads at a SLAC with no grad students and the opportunity to continue to pursue athletic passions made the price tag worthwhile given our circumstances.  If we had needed to take on debt, the result might have been different.  [/quote]
