^thanks – that’s exactly what I needed to know. You’re right – we basically got zero fin aid.

I ran the calculator – thanks for the link – it came up with $38K so I’ll mention that. We also do have some serious medical bills (H is older and had Stage IV cancer so he’s always going for tests and they’re usually not covered fully by insurance). I don’t think D would qualify for merit, but it’s good to know it’s available.

It’s a pricey school. I think they’ve been very successful in creating an impression in peoples’ minds that they’re generous with aid, but I think the reality is very very different.
