My daughter and I are having a fun time to decide which colleges to apply. She is a national merit semi-finalist. Most of the prestigious schools do not offer generous merit scholarship. They do, however, offer great financial aids for which we do not qualify because of our assets. There are few colleges, e.g., University of Texas at Austin, Miami University, University of Kansas, Texas A&M, that offer very attractive merit scholarships. My strategy is to submit applications to two prestigious colleges, Stanford and Caltech; one school that offers generous merit scholarship: UT-Austin; two local public universities: U of Minnesota and UW-madison (not local but we will pay U of Minn tuition).
Does anyone face similar situation? If so, what are planning to do?
