Is yield protection actually a thing for high-stat (3.9+/520+) applicants?

Hofstra, Western Michigan, Iowa (maybe), Einstein, Miami, Jefferson and Temple. Ohio State/Cincinnati have the benefit of being able to qualify for IS tuition after the first year. Kaiser of course and some UC schools may offer merit aid too. No guarantees though.

Would you also recommend USF-Morsani? And Rush?

I do not know USF’s merit aid, but they were previously recommended as a school for you to apply and I concur with that. Pass on Rush.

Thank you so much for the kind words! One of the biggest reasons i want to go to a T20 in the first place is because they offer so much need-based aid! Do you have any suggestions of schools that are a little bit lower-ranked that offer a significant amount of merit aid?

Fortunately I am not very familiar with generosity of need-based aid, and also hearing that each school calculates it differently.

Many T5/10 20 30 50 offer merit aid.
Lower ranked non T20 merit examples: Kaiser, Keck, NYU LI, Hofstra (can’t remember correct name)

All Kaiser students have received cost-of-attendance beyond the advertised “tuition-free for the first 5 matriculating classes.”

UVA gives good need based and merit aid, speaking from first hand experience

Just my need based aid was half tuition and I’m solidly middle class

Thanks for the tip! Do you know how friendly UVA is to OOS (CA) applicants with no ties?

At your stat level, you may apply to UVA as those are the OOS students they tend to interview.
