I read that too, and if so that would be great news.

Here is another article though that makes me less optimistic:

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/01/24/university-kentucky-moving-away-merit-aid

This more recent quote seemed to suggest it is going to be bad news:

"The strategy doesn’t mean no aid for high-scoring students – Tracy pointed out that top-performing students often still have unmet need. Yet he acknowledges Kentucky might lose some elite students.

“Our modeling suggests that we will probably have fewer National Merit Finalists,” he said. “We had 105 this year.”

While Tracy said UK is proud to have so many National Merit Finalists, he also pointed out that they’re 2 percent of the university’s first-year class of 5,100 students"

Why would their modeling suggest fewer NMFs if they are going to keep the Patterson?

Oh well, at least the painful wait will soon be over. We will know for sure in a few weeks.
