| sketchy, We we were asked to pay 28k for Towson last year, so don't feel too badly. Needless to say, our son is not at Towson. I really don't know how they get their OOS students. I guess enough are paying full freight there, but not this family! |

| So far, U Michigan is the worst package, WUSTL - not great, and Carnegie Mellon is good. NorthEastern is the best. | |

| My son was given a merit award from NEU, but nothing additional, so it didn't work for us either. | |

| As I was expecting, here's another to add to the list: Georgetown. About as bad as UChicago. | |

| You must have had a high family contribution, because their aid was great for me. I'm poor though lol. | |

After appeals, WUSTL & NorthEastern are the best, Carnegie Mellon is good, and U Michigan is still the worst. | |

| I'm OOS. ASU was meh. My EFC is 0.
Grants-4k
Loans-7
That knocks the tuition from 31 to 20. Still need to find out if I can get more aid. | |

| NYU gave me a mere 7k in free money and the rest in loans. I guess its because our EFC is over 40k, but it still pains me because money is the reason why I can't even consider the colleges of my choice... | |

| Thanks for the further updates. So far, which colleges look the most disappointing and the least disappointing? | |
