Shhh...it's a secret! 🤫 This article highlights something I've been telling families all along. Grades and test scores are important, but far from the only things that matter in college admissions and financial aid. I find that item #4️⃣ has more impact on aid than item #1️⃣. But that doesn't mean DI doesn't matter. In fact, not only can DI matter, but the lack of DI can also matter. Several years ago, a well-known private school would admit students with merit aid (if they qualified) even without any DI. However, if that same student then appealed for more aid, the answer was automatically NO❗️ Why? Because the school knew that the student wasn't serious, and they were likely being used to negotiate against other school offers. But the student would was very unlikely to attend in these cases. The "problem" with this information is that asking colleges for this info is like asking for the secret formula to Coca-Cola or KFC. Even I have a hard time sometimes to get this info. It takes asking the right, nuanced question and listening for the right, nuanced answer. But this is truly the "game" of college admissions and financial aid. And the better a family plays this game, the better their odds of getting in and getting aid 💲 Thanks Robert Farrington for publishing this article!
