| If college FA offices had the resources of the IRS (and I'm not talking about hugely endowed schools like Harvard, but of other schools), maybe. And if they didn't have to figure out how much in grant, how much in work study, how much in loans, maybe. And if they didn't have to/want to deal with preferential packaging, maybe. And if they all worked with the same formula, maybe. And if they all promised to meet 100% of need, maybe. And if everyone got their documents in on time, maybe.
And if my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bus. |
