Some NESCACs offer merit aid. Connecticut College definitely, I think Trinity may as well, though not 100% sure of that.

Rather than spending even 30K a year on Gettysburg, I would rather seed my the 120K dollars I would spend on 4 years and tell her to round up a bunch of hispanics and start a housekeeping business in Westport. With some high school spanish and a night class at Norwalk Community College, she would get a better ROI
33% of the applicants get into Bucknell. Its not Princeton.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post33<45, no? Bucknell has more name recognition and somewhat deeper alumni network which is important for internships and jobs. Bucknell ranked 20pts higher of all LACS vs Gettysburg. Both were too small and rural for my two in college now, but Gettysburg did offer a lot of money to the one kid that still applied there. Look, getting a ton of money is great but if your kid won't be happy there it may not be worth it. Luckily the old adage there's a school for everyone is very true. Apply to lots of academic and financial options for reaches and safeties. You never know what a school may throw your way if they really want you, either for sports, academics or whatever. I'm curious to see what happens during/post covid. My junior is already inundated with emails and fliers.
You are correct....Bucknell has a strong alumni network and it blows Gettysburg away. Not even close. Gettysburg has to offer more money to get smart students....Amherst, middlebury, hamilton, Williams, Bowdoin, etc not so much

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the op but my senior has also gotten an absurd amount of mail and emails, even though she's done (recruited athlete, just has to finish the ED application). Way more than her older siblings got, but maybe because she's a female interested in science? I think schools are nervous about what next year will bring.
