We were surprised that the kid received no merit aid from Lafayette. The kid has test scores well above 75th percentile, extremely rigorous courseload, hundreds of service hours, visited campus multiple times, had a great time, interviewed on campus.

We were attracted to Lafayette by its commitment to teaching, bringing in more faculty and raising its academic profile. With merit aid, it would have been the kid’s clear first choice. As it is, the kid has excellent options at other schools.
