A word of warning about Goucher - they have been very generous with merit aid in the past (doling it out to people with relatively low scores) but that may bechanging. They have raised their tuition for next year quite a bit and Goucher's President has said that they are considering cutting non-need merit aid and make more need-based grants to cover the difference. However, Goucher's plan is to increase size from about 1300 to 1500 in the next two years and they are trying to raise their stats of admitted students and add diversity (gender, racial and geographic) at the same time. Therefore, if you're towards the top or above their stat range (3.2 GPA/1200 SAT median), a male, a minority, or from outside the northeast/middle atlantic (where Goucher pulls most of its students from), I think you will still find them generous with merit money. They also have a number of talent-based scholarships in art, performing arts, and music that are quite generous and those apparently will not be changing. You don't need to major in the arts to receive one.
