better merit aid, help needed!

<p>Oh, I agree that vagueness does not mean that the scholarship doesn’t exist. No one is saying that. It’s just that if a school is going to give a certain number of scholarships for certain stats, it’s nicer if they provide such info. </p>

<p>When a school doesn’t state a number or likely stats, it just seems like a dangled carrot to entice thousands of applicants for a small number of awards. That may not be the case with American. I just stated that I don’t like vagueness (and I don’t). :)</p>

<p>I also don’t like it when a school only offers 2 or 3 scholarships and then invites a couple hundred kids to come inteview and compete for those scholarships (at the kids’ own expense). Those seem like a cheap ploy to get lots of high stats kids onto a campus, so that they can sell their school to this captured audience.</p>
