Re: the post about avoiding waitlists because they won’t offer aid because they didn’t want you at first

I don’t think this is always true. At least it wasn’t in our case. There’s really no harm in staying on a waitlist to see what they will give you. Just don’t throw your heart into it.

Also, the amount of “need” that many colleges offer to meet seems to be based on “merit.”
