Received our aid offer (23k – one need based grant for 15.5k and the rest in loans and work study). I will only consider Federal subsidized loans so the real total comes to about 19k. This is pretty meager compared to at least one other Tier 1 school that my D was accepted to (waiting to hear back on 3 others). However, looking at the percent of need met statistics for American (mid 40%s?) I guess it could be expected. Guess we’ll wait for the schools that haven’t reported back yet, but American is definitely off the table. Best of luck to all. It should be a good experience for those who go. It seemed like a nice place when we visited last spring.
