The NPCs were varied. For example, UVM said with her stats they would give her 14-20K per year in merit for academics. At the end of the day, they gave us exactly zero. When I emailed, they said they had a stronger than expected pool of applicants. So NPC was misleading in that case. UDel gave us exactly what the NPC said it would in merit. A bunch of other schools kindly gave us slightly more than we expected. They are good options, and might be what we end up going with.

She is looking at a few local ones that she could find relevant to her or her major. Like you said though, can’t count on them annually, just have to try to win a few if we can anyway. I also have seen that the schools themselves have a lot. Buffalo for example had pages of them, and I think they can help you get some of they feel you have some additional need. School specific of course.
