Financial Aid Question

<p>Sorry to drag this up, but does anyone have a sense of how good Mudd is for those who do require significant need-based aid? I got into Caltech and UChicago Early Action, and their aid packages left us with about half the cost, which is at the very upper limits of what my family can afford (a little beyond, really). I do qualify for the Harvey S. Mudd Merit Award, but that will just cut into the aid money, not reduce our contribution. So I need them to come up with a good package for me to be able to attend. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
