I think soozievt is absolutely correct. Parents and students need to understand very, very clearly that very few schools commit to providing 100% of the difference between what parents and students can pay and the cost of attending a school. BoCo makes this clear and we certainly knew this going in. We also clearly understood/understand that financial aid is not something that any school OWES an accepted student: it's something the school can choose to offer or not. However, I have heard of some kids getting some very large merit/talent scholarships at BoCo, so one can always hope for one of those.
