Actually, anybody CAN get that $5,500 loan a year because it’s the unsubsidized stafford loan, which isn’t need based. That’s likely all you’re going to get, unfortunately that’s just how it is. We make significantly less than your family and had a medical-related financial catastrophe in the year leading up to my acceptance, and they didn’t budge a bit for me. I doubt they will for you either. I encourage you to find a more inexpensive school so you don’t end up with massive student loans like I did-- it wasn’t worth it, at all, in the slightest, and in hindsight I’d prefer to have not gone to college at all than go to Michigan because of the expense. If you had the stats to get in at Michigan, surely you got scholarships somewhere?
