I dont see anyone as being negative merely pragmatic
I have seen too many cases like this
A national merit scholar is shocked to find that the most ANY of her schools will give her for merit is $500.
A student that has an international baccalaurate diploma, 4.0 + GPA and 1500 SAT scores is turned down from 5 out of her 7 schools.
A student who is offered a very generous package for freshman year, is warned that this school often offers only loans in subsequent years, chooses the school anyway and has to drop out midway through junior year because she just can’t keep up with expenses after her mother died.
I hope people do come back and say that they have been offered a great deal that matches their EFC and is mostly grants. I really don’t like saying I told you so ;)
