On this episode I talk with Jennie about:

• Why she created the chart in the first place
• She explains why your student doesn’t have to be incredible in order to get merit aid
• How much students’ ability to pay matters in admissions
• How to use the chart, including how Jennie walks students through a consultation
• Why students might decline to ask for merit-based aid
