Merged: HElP!! ADVICE NEEDED!! Looking for a LAC which my daughter will like and where she can get …
<p>“Emilybee, I’m wondering what other schools your so lilked since he also liked Bates?”</p>
<p>Besides St. Lawrence, his third choice was Hobart William Smith. They gave him $27k/ yr in merit. Tbh, he tells me now he is very glad he doesnt go there. Too preppy for him. Several schools, including HWS, he applied because they have sailing, and HWS team is very highly ranked. Bates team is only club but they still compete against schools which have varsity sailing (sailing works differently than other sports.) U New Hampshire was another school he applied to because they had sailing and was a safety for him. </p>
<p>Allegheny gave him $22k/ merit and Ithaca gave him $18k/yr. </p>
<p>We found that the higher the ranking of the school the more merit aid he received. </p>
<p>His 4th choice was SUNY Binghamton who gave him nothing but we are instate so. </p>
