Same here. We don't qualify for FA anywhere so it would be hard to turn down this much merit.

My dc received generous merit with their EA acceptance (to Rose Hill campus). Seriously considering Fordham, even though also accepted to a few schools perceived as “better.”

Mine got a $21,800 tuition award from Fordham. We honestly weren’t expecting anything, especially after my student was initially deferred in the EA round.

If you have a kid at/recent grad would love to hear your POV. Mine is one of the kids in this thread who got in and are seriously considering. Lincoln Center.

Go Rams!

$98k tuition fees housing food plan (not including indirect costs)

OMG. For those of us still in the research phase, it would help to know the net price after the merit award is deducted from the list price . . . not just the merit award itselse.

The PP asked for the base price before anyone’s merit aid in this thread was taken into account.

OMG you should be able to do the simple math…

$65k

A friend's daughter is thriving there as a sophomore!

Fordham and Villanova seem comparable excluding Basketball.

Georgetown and Holy Cross draw from a wealthier crowd.

Reputation, ranking, acceptance rate it is far off from Holy Cross.

It's not far off from Holy Cross. Donut hole families are priced out of the others. Fordham gives good merit.

If you're getting significant FA or wealthy and cost isn't a factor, then go ahead and go to the best one you can get into. But it's different for families chasing merit.
