<p>Hey, if you have no need based aid, then I’m guessing outside scholarships are just gravy. They are out there, go get them aggressively. How nice of your host to tell you that you were picked last. If it is any comfort, there were a lot more people wanting PF than the number of them available. Actually, you sound perfect for Caltech with your sense of humor. I know how you feel about not being wanted though. My son kept being told he couldn’t negotiate a better deal with Financial Aid, only to see from the Frosh blog that the woman writing it kept cutting a better and better deal. They obviously wanted her more than they wanted him.</p>
