<p>Hey- fam, I think that your logic holds true for merit aid, but I think that drae27 is kind of trying to get the same sort of analysis for need based aid. Based on all the MICA stuff I read when the scholarship applications came out, I saw that there were some combined need/merit based scholarships. Nothing more to report, all my anecdotal data is merit stories from MICA- a couple of which appear to be relatively generous, $60K, $88K. (strong painters, good grades)</p>
<p>Good luck, Drae, the waiting is bringing out the hamster wheel in my brain.</p>
