<p>My D has selected a few financial safeties but the more expensive schools are still very appealing. </p>
<p>I’m fairly sure she will be admitted to at least some of them but I don’t have any sense of her chances for financial aid. Your detailed description of the process at your school (thanks) gives the impression that need can matter a lot at your school. I would be happy if this were the case for my D. Her grades are “good but not … stellar,” as forrest said, above, but she is strong in leadership as well as theater. If she has to compete with an academic powerhouse, however, she is in trouble.</p>
<p>The link to MT forum is very useful as well. </p>
<p>Thanks, again.</p>
