Okay so, I am planning to apply to JHU Early Decision, now on their website it says that if you are not satisfied with the financial package given and are still unable to pay the amount, then you can get out of the early decision program. I am NOT planning to do this, but, when say an admissions personnel is looking at your application, and sees that my family income is roughly 50,000, and we don’t really have a lot in savings, would they take this against because they might think I would be unable to pay the tuition and would just get out of the ed acceptance? See, the reason I am asking is really my family is unable to pay even 10,000 a year for the tuition, and we are really banking on loans and on many of my family members who have already said they would loan the money right away, of course JHU doesn’t know this so yeah. Anyone have an answer or have I misunderstood the financial aid process. Thanks in advancee.
