Yeah, some schools are “buyers.”I know you get it, but these scholarships from private schools are a big shell game. My oldest (currently a frosh at IU), got huge money from Rose and Dayton and out of state publics like Miami and UC. IU still ended up being the “cheapest” at $30+k.
I will say Dayton kept adding money way past decision date. I think the Common App makes predicting class size more challenging.
I’ve long had my thumb on the scale for one of IU, Purdue, Butler, or Cincy. Good educations at all and three of them have incredibly diverse curricula.
She wants to go to a school in a city because of “asthetics” and her mother is enough of a squish to let this happen.
Apparently Indianapolis and Cincy aren’t cities in her mind. It’s going to come to a head and I’ll be the bad guy. C’est la vie.
