The news is heartbreaking…
AU’s transfer financial aid offer was very poor…$11,900 only 44% of need. So won’t be able to attend AU. Also accepted to transfer to Catholic U so might attend there $22,000 (Double AU’s offer). But also might re-consider staying at McDaniel $30,000 = full need.

I have often heard advice suggesting going to a community college or state school to save money and then transferring up to dream school for the last two years. Now, I don’t think this is good advice unless need based financial aid is not essential. The scholarships and financial aid packages seem to be too low for transfer students.
