It’s an OOS public school my daughter wants to go to. Our EFC is high enough so that we will not qualify for any government money. I was hoping to get some merit money.

Ahhh…

Is this UMaryland? Are her stats high for the school? For a good chance at merit aid, stats need to be in the top 25% for the school.

edited to add…

*GPA 4.09 (w)
SAT 720 M, 580 CR, 620 W
*

If it is UMaryland…

Test Scores Middle 50% of First-Year Students

SAT Critical Reading: 580 - 680
SAT Math: 610 - 710
SAT Writing: - - (UMaryland doesn’t seem to count Writing)

Her math + CR score is a 1300. That is around the middle for the school…
