<p>Actually, that is what I mean. You said it better than I did.</p>

<p>UltimateFrisbee:
That is not the case. For our situation, we did not need the merit aid (100% EFC) but son did receive a nice MA from the school and turned down much higher MA packages from other applied schools. </p>

<p>We will however, pledge recompensation to his school on his completion of possible grad school.</p>

<p>nvdad: Do not commit to their offer until you hear from the other schools.</p>

<p>Paraiso: Are you the one who had the problem with opening the jar? Aside from that, how did your finals come out. </p>

<p>That thread was the most fun thread I've ever participated in. For this we go to college.

However, paying $44k for Dickinson vs $12K for William and Mary would seem to be insane

<p>nvdad,</p>

<p>Probably not insane, but definitely irrational, probably irresponsible, possibly immoral - that money could be better spent elsewhere.</p>

<p>Ultimate,</p>

<p>Well said, as I mentioned earlier, this has got to be one of the most asinine threads and topics I have seen on a discussion board in a longggggg, longggggg time......</p>
