<p>Thanks everyone for suggestions.</p>
<p>Re: Fordham – agree with Anniezz – the language has changed from prior years to indicate they are scaling back the number of awards granted. Not an automatic or very likely scholarship given the number of applications for freshman admission they receive. From their website:</p>
<p>[ Nominees are freshmen graduating from high school in the top 1% of their class, or semifinalists in the National Merit, National Achievement or Hispanic Recognition competitions who are also in the top 10% of their class. Presidential and Jesuit Scholarships are awarded to the top 20 applicants each year.]</p>
<p>Is anyone here familiar with Ursinus in Pennsylvania? Any comments regarding academic quality and student opportunities? It’s noted in the Colleges that Changes Lives and US News as an up and coming school. I just wonder are they one of those schools that raises up the “cost” of the school and then “discounts” for everyone with awards to make it seem like a more desirable institution?</p>
