CMU costs about 50k + … and with EFC 0…i got
7k in loans, about 23k in aid(grant,workstudy) …
it’s quite amazing… even U michigan gave me 25k in aid,excluding loans, and it’s a public…
i guess i expected too much from CMU, which i thought would provide alot more in aid for a poor student like me… economy sucks i guess…
right now im on priority waitlist… should i just give up on CMU because there’s no way i can attend even if im admitted.
Is there a way i can negotiate with the FA office?

thanks~
