<p>My d just received acceptance from Reed. I should feel great, but the financial aid offer is so low that I am shocked. A few hundred dollars in grants and several thousand in loans, the total amounting to less than 10% of costs. I have in front of me a table published by Reed showing, for example, that a family with income of $90,000 received an average $24,000 in financial aid for this year. Since we make much less than that, I am surprised and saddened. The aid package is so far from what we, perhaps in ignorance, expected, that I don’t see how this can be worked out.</p>
