College Discussion - View Single Post - Merit Aid and Early Admission... Irreconcilable?

Hey everyone,

I've been toying with the idea of applying early to Smith, and I'm just wondering if my chances at getting merit based aid such as a STRIDE Scholarship or a Zollman Scholarship are reduced if I do so.

I am very adamant about applying ED to a school, getting in, and sitting pretty until June... but I also am adamant about receiving all of the opportunities I could if I applied RD and had colleges "compete," as it were.

I emailed the financial services office about this but will probably not get a response until the next century due to the "large volume of emails."

Thanks!
