| Northwestern's offer was a few thousand less or about the same as my other schools. My EFC from NU is around 6k for next year, and my fafsa efc was like 1.5k. shadow, I don't know how in the world you got such a high efc, but you could've tried to talk to the financial aid people to reconsider their offer, but now its too late unless you have enrolled in NU. I don't think that you have any right to label NU as "rich, white, and greedy" because they certainly weren't greedy with everyone. They probably saw your family had a significant amount of money in investments and stuff, so that would yield a higher efc. |
