We are in Ohio, so I will have her take a look at Case. It would be a quick, easy visit. I actually worked there many years ago and hated Cleveland winters, so it I don’t love it myself. My kid is from heartier stock than me, so I will have her look at their English program and see what she thinks.
I called Oberlin and asked about their maximum merit awards. They said that it depends on the year. Some years it is as low as $8,000 and others as high as $28,000. It depends on the pool of applicants and how they decide to spread it around. This did not help them move up on our list at all.
