The fact that Tufts doesn’t offer merit aid nearly made me have to turn the school down. I knew I really wanted to go there out of all the schools I got into, but they didn’t offer me any money. At the same time, I got a full ride merit Trustee scholarship from USC, as well as several merit half-tuition scholarships at other colleges. But I just KNEW that I’d feel like I cheated myself if I didn’t go with the school I liked the best. It was a really difficult decision, and I know what a sacrifice it is for my parents to send me to Tufts. But I also know how lucky I am that they have enough money to allow me to go to Tufts, whereas other people who are accepted aren’t so lucky. I wish Tufts could offer merit aid, and maybe in the future, they’ll be able to, because it’ll attract a wider diversity of people.
