<p>Like swiss_mj I was accepted to MHC but decided to attend BMC instead.
My grades are, well, not outstanding (I don’t like humanities; junior year I failed my ethics class and got a C in German) but I had quite high test scores.</p>
<p>chrism, I was offered need-based aid in the range of tuition but it was significantly less than I got from BMC (and frankly, not quite enough for me to be able to attend but they might have just misinterpreted some numbers; e.g. half of my family’s income is spent solely on taxes)</p>
<p>gracieloos, I received the merit-based Leadership Award as part of my fin aid package (10K as far as I can remember). You are welcome to have a look at my stats profile if you would like.</p>
