Oops, first of all my previous post was directed at “Other similar sized schools don’t seem to have any problem coming up with merit money to attract top students.”
Concerning the impact of freezing tuition I’m not going to argue that point. I was just stating I’m happy as the parent of a prospective in-state student that there may not be an increase.
But I will add that we are looking at OOS options. I would caution you to not overstate the amounts OOS equivalent schools are giving based solely on merit…emphasis on “equivalent schools”. As a NMSF my son was offered several full rides, but they were not schools we would even consider since out-of-pocket expense is not our first priority.
Lastly, I don’t know what you mean by the “2nd state-flagship proposal”. If you have the time could you give me a quick explanation? Thanks!
