<p>we got a small package, but at an in state public, which sure makes that a deal!!!</p>
<p>What are your hopes for “net cost” after merit? I know that you have a younger child who will be going to college in a couple of years and may not get much/any merit. So, are you looking to minimize costs for S1 because you think you might be full or near-full pay for S2? (not a criticism, I know that some families do have to strategize like this because of the realities of different children’s merit capabilities)</p>
