Vicious cycle indeed. Eiffelguy, their average financial aid package given is around the size of those given by peer institutions. However, rather than having 90+% of that average package composed of grant money, only around 50-60% is. It may not seem like a huge amount, but for some people $10,000 is a lot of money. And, for many people, it is not worth it to incur $75,000 in debt in order to go to Georgetown when they could go to XYZ top 25 university and graduate with <$20k in debt.
