Binx,

Yes, you are correct. We do not qualify for need based aid, and S did not receive a merit award from MSM–this information came with the acceptance. I do intend to contact them to see if this might perhaps change if others turn down their awards. While we were not expecting much, as they did make clear that an award, if offered, would be minimal, the fact that New School has offered a substantial merit award, as did his safety school, Northern IL, does give pause. S is my child who is most sensitive to finances, and he is having trouble with turning down the merit award, even though MSM is his clear first choice. We will weigh all three choices carefully over the next few weeks, but chances are good that he will attend MSM. He has a decent shot at some outside scholarship $ that will help somewhat.
