<p>crazy mom: Since financial aid and admissions are pretty disconnected, what is more likely is that the financial situations of the frosh blogger and your son are different in some way (or the frosh blogger is just better at convincing the fin. aid office). I’m pretty sure that no one knows how much admissions ‘wanted’ you outside of admissions. </p>
<p>In any case, Carolus, if you think that the opinion of one upperclassman and the absence of grants from the FA office means that the institute as a whole “doesn’t want you” than you are being overly sensitive. Obviously, if we didn’t want you we wouldn’t have to take you.</p>
