No problem. I learned so much here on CC about ‘chasing merit’ for my two kids that I’m always happy to pay it forward.
You should be following this thread as well: it may be more applicable to your kid than my threads were. (D21 was only looking at small LACs and S23 is doing engineering, so very different searches in both cases):
The upshot is that full tuition merit $ is increasingly scarce even for the highest stat kids unless they are FG (LI will get need-based aid) or URMs, unless you’re willing to consider lower-ranked schools. And my advice is, don’t discount those: there are other really smart kids and great profs everywhere. Good luck to you!
