@IvyGrad09 Congrats on Conn College - seems like a good fit for your S’s academic interests, and the music opportunities there are excellent too. I’m a little wistful now about taking it off my D’s list - several supposedly-reliable sources told me that they didn’t offer any merit, and it just wasn’t on the curve for us as a full-pay choice… but since then I’ve heard of several kids getting merit money there and now I wonder what they might have given my D! She’s even a legacy of sorts, as my grandmother graduated from Conn College many many years ago (circa 1930!). No regrets, as I’m happy to have her staying closer to home at Scripps, which offered her a very nice merit scholarship; but I might have lobbied harder for a visit to New London when we did our Northeast loop last summer if I’d known $ was possible! Hope your S has a great experience there!
