Tulane - got $32k/year merit (need to apply EA and tour/demonstrate interest).
Miami Ohio - got $24k/year merit.

Ended up getting in ED at Ivy (after receiving the above merit awards).

You paid for private and your kid is going to Elon?

I am the PP if you are also full pay, ED really wisely - try a bates/colby over a Hamilton/middlebury. 3.7 isn’t going Ivy or Williams/amherst unless there is a hook.

3.7 from a good private:

Very Likely: Rhodes, college of Charleston, holy cross, Fairfield, providence college, Franklin and Marshall, American… unless they yield protect.

Safety: Elon, HighPoint, muhlenberg, Denison, Dickinson, Wooster

This is way inflated for a 3.7. Maybe your school does better. I just looked at the stats for these schools minus Wash U in Feb with a big3 CCO. They haven't taken below a 3.9 in 3 years. Then yesterday my 3.9 senior was rejected RD from Vanderbilt and Rice. Not even wait listed.
