My daughter was not accepted into the “meet full financial need schools” that are need aware (she had no hook) BUT was accepted to St Olaf (need blind) with a great package and St. Lawrence University - which does not guarantee full need met but they matched St. Olaf’s package almost to the penny. (almost full tuition) St. Olaf was hands down the best school we toured, including all the “small ivies” like Bates etc. The campus, professors, facilities rivaled Boston College. The campus vibe is very artsy/musical - music program is incredible and the STEM programs top notch. Incredible numbers of students go to graduate school. Both my daughter and I thought their programs and campus were the best we have seen.
