<p>I find this Monday morning quaterbacking, so to speak, of merit aid to be so interesting. I wish I had the time and ability to consolidate the information and try to tease out any patterns for future applicants.</p>
<p>My son was accepted to Brandeis, great grades with a 2350 SAT, 35 ACT, recs that read like I wrote them, etc and was offered no merit aid. We were a bit surprised but it’s so hit and miss. </p>
<p>He has chosen to attend Northeastern University; they offered full tuition, honors college and he really likes the idea of the co-ops. Plus he’s achieve his goal of getting out of Texas and up to the Northeast! Brandeis is a wonderful college and I wish every student there nothing but the very best.</p>
