<p>Thanks for all the great info stagemum… Emerson is on D’s short list (but not on mine- since I had heard about their “less-than-stellar” FA packages). I will have her look into UArts - she had mentioned it in the past. I guess her GPA is middle ground (3.5 “unweighted”… With numerous honors and AP courses), I think her scores fall about the same (about 1550). I’m not sure how that compares or if its high enough to be considered for merit. I’m thinking the same as Virginia718 at this point - she can borrow a bit, but if the gap is too big instate is looking good.</p>
