Merit Aid?

<p>With a 1080 SAT and a 4.2 GPA will i get any merit aid? I got into Newhouse.</p>

<p>Sorry, but not likely! My daughter had higher SAT's and her GPA (I don't know the conversion) was a 93.67 unweighted w/all honors or some AP classes, and she did not get a penny! Zilch, Zip, Nada!</p>

<p>It seemed like most of the Newhouse kids did not get anything last year either for merit...</p>

<p>Do you think that is just for newhouse? Did your daughter go to newhouse or A and S?</p>

<p>My daughter goes to Newhouse, and on Facebook it seemed like none of the Newhouse kids were getting merit but the A&S kids were getting tons of money.</p>

<p>newhouse is such a draw that unfortunately they don't have to give as much money as a&s...you pay for the top-notch education.<br>
but the founders' scholarship definitely went to a few newhouse kids this year, and that's a decent chunk off tuition, but yes, the biggest ones and the largest number of them definitely fall in a&s.</p>

<p>Kyle, did you apply ED?</p>

<p>Yeah I applied ED</p>

<p>Thanks, I thought so.</p>

<p>My S., who graduated from Engineering school May '07 had 16K/yr. merit. If memory serves correctly, his stats were about 93 avg. and 1350 SATS. A h.s. grad i know from June 2006 (with similar numbers) got 15k (Arts and Sciences).</p>
