Merit aid

<p>D had 30 on ACT, 3.95 W GPA, can’t remember UW, several leadership roles including editor in chief of Literary mag, varsity tennis, president ski/outdoor club, Tae Kwon Do instructor. Hispanic. Difficult course load with several APs/honors. Awarded $17,250 merit, which seems to be the median of the published range for this year ($14k-$20,500?). Already received financial letter in mail a few weeks ago; don’t know if that foreshadows college scholar award will not be received, but not expecting it based on so many worthy students. Financial award was disappointing, just loans in addition to above-mentioned merit.</p>
