<p>I’m sorry stitchpony but its better to have some idea of affordability before you get your hopes up. Maybe there’lll be some merit aid for you? Keep your options open and wide…make sure you have a few financially safe schools that you would be happy to attend. I think there’s probably a whole bunch of disappointed kids when packages roll out each year, better to know where you stand beforehand. How are your negotiation skills with Mom and Dad? LOL</p>
