ACCEPTED to Fu Foundation! and then I looked at my financial package... :-(
Parent contribution is $39,000!!! No Way!! My efc was only $23,000; is it possible the financial aid office made a mistake? Otherwise I won't be able to afford tution.

No, they don't. Admissions is need blind. And, why would they accept someone they wouldn't want to come?
