so i’m a rising senior and i’m having the same problem that is being discussed- whether or not to apply ED at an IVY league, Brown specifically

i went on a college visit there and they said that there will be no loans for families w/ under 100k earnings and no parental contribution for those earning less than 60k

my rents’ combined income is in the low 50k and i also have an older brother in college that they’re paying fees for…so do u think i should apply ED to brown’s 8 yr med program? It is definitely my first choice but financial aid is what is scaring me. Honestly speaking, that is the only thing that is holding me back- but after reading the thread, I thought I should ask around.

any thoughts?any help would be greatly appreciated
