| Wow, randomperson, I disagree completely.
I know plenty of students (myself included) who get fantastic aid packages. I also know of several people who told MIT that they thought they wouldn't be able to attend because of financial concerns and received substantial increases in their aid packages.
I suppose we have very different experiences.
The point is, as Mollie said, that admissions is need-blind. So by all means, apply and see what kind of aid you can get. Chances are you'll be able to work it out. Doesn't hurt to try, right? |
