<p>It seems so complicated. “Wild ride” is a perfect description! I don’t really understand the difference between grant and merit. Is grant based on income and merit on achievement?</p>
<p>My son doesn’t have a “dream” school or even a first choice. He has 4 schools that are sort of first choices but nothing that he <em>has</em> to get into or else he’ll be disappointed. He sees positives in all the schools on his list. Maybe that’s a good thing??</p>
