<p>Anyone have any experience with the following colleges for merit aid? Don't qualify for federal money (EFC more than most colleges cost) so I'm wondering if I'll get anything (??) or will my parents be forced to pay sticker price..do these schools give any money at all?</p>
<p>William and Mary
Boston College (didn't apply EA, out of any chance of pres. scholar)
Johns Hopkins
Holy Cross
George Washington
Duke
Williams</p>
<p>Do your test scores and GPA indicate you will be in the top 25% of the class at these schools?</p>
<p>They have scholarships at universities for being in the top 25% of the uni?</p>
<p>You are far more likely to get merit aid if you are in the the top 25%. However, that break point is no guarantee of awards.</p>
<p>I didn't know schools did that. How are you able to find all the scholarships a school has to offer because they obviously don't put them all on their school websites? Do you really have to actually call the school?</p>
<p>yankeeboy: Don't know about all the others you mention, but Duke's merit based aid is clearly listed on their site: <a href="http://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/merit_main.html%5B/url%5D">http://dukefinancialaid.duke.edu/merit_main.html</a>
That link will also take you to the need-based aid info.</p>
