Hmmm - since many get - I think it’s $33K today - that’s not a lot.
When my daughter applied it was $27K + $3K for the dorm.
Last year I think it was $30K + $3K.
They need to offer something to get people to ED.
It’s a fallback school - from what they actually told me for American of all places. I had a long chat with them. They said Chicago too although I don’t see that.
In the last CDS, they had 224 apps.
Look at a school a fraction of the size - Williams - a small fraction and had more than 3 times the ED apps…over 800.
For DU, it’s a marketing ploy - they need the apps.
It’s got a solid rep but it’s much more an alternative - either for admission or cost due to merit.
But $15K is not what a solid student gets.
You can read last year’s thread to see…
I’m not good at searching but I found this:
Stats: 3.9 UW GPA, Test Optional, 1 Honors, 1 AP
$28,000
But yeah - $15K for them is a savings 
I think for someone who has an aid need - should strongly consider not applying ED…
St. Olaf - what is their potential merit if not ED? @chardonMN - do you know? Is it like Devner - in that # is under most?
