Stop calling other posters “dumb”. They are not dumb.
You really have provided no answers to questions here. And now you are calling posters dumb?
And truthfully, you don’t need multiple threads asking the same question.
I think you’re not understanding that people are responding to comments and questions you posted. These are things you’ve been asking:
Do people borrow the full cost of a $200k education? Does applying for aid after acceptance help you get in?
The amount of federal aid won’t change if you deposit at a school. That’s an entitlement and you get it no matter what. At your EFC, you don’t qualify for anything so deposit wherever you want. All you’re getting from the feds is the opportunity to borrow the $5500/year federal student loan. The other $8k/year you’ll have to pay.
I wouldn’t borrow ~$14k/year for college. You’re looking at a minimum of ~$56k (plus interest) over 4 years, and costs will only go up. But make your deposit and contact the school to ask for more. It won’t have any effect on your federal aid.
@“aunt Bea” I appreciate all you’re trying to do to help this poster, but we don’t have the right to close down other people’s threads.
I think there’s a language and perhaps a cultural barrier here. The confusion and stress that the covid situation is adding can’t be helping anyone. I think it would be helpful if we all took a deep breath and regrouped.
@compiler, It would help if you left inflammatory words like “dumb” out of your posts. You may not agree with my comments, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Since the OP doesn’t seem to appreciate the help being given, I am closing the thread.
