My son was accepted at VA Tech but only received $5,000 in merit aid. He will not qualify for financial-based need. He has a 34 ACT, straight As with all AP and Honors courses, lots of extra curriculars and #5 in his class of 418 kids. Is this a typical amount of merit aid to receive? He is really disappointed as this is his first choice school.

Advice, please!
