Same goes for me! What frustrates me the most is that I interview very well yet, because Davidson aboslutely refused to do any interviews I’m just another drop in the bucket. At two other LACs I tripled my scholarship after interviewing (one to 128,000 dollars). So sorry Davidson, great school, too big a price. I would have been willing to pay up to 28,000 dollars a year to go to such a great school but because I wasn’t offered anything, Davidson is off my radar.

And on zetesis’ point, definitely different understandings! I have a friend who didn’t get any aid from Davidson either. For some reason I don’t think a family that makes around 75,000 dollars a year (he tolde me it was ok to share) with 2 kids about to go to college too should have to pay full price at a 43,000 dollar a year institution. And apparently other schools agree with me because they allowed him to appeal his merit and financial aid award after he expressed interest in attending and told of his inability to pay!
