but you can not apply to just one school. You need to cast a fairly wide net. Say 8-12 applications. All applications to schools that fit the student.

One other component that has an impact on the merit aid award is often 'diversity'. I am speaking of the 'diversity' that we all can qualify for, that is geographic diversity. If you are from New England I would expect to get better merit aid outside of my region, i.e. California, WUStL, Tulane etc. than say Northeastern (with all stats being equalized).

Continued good luck to all with their efforts.
