Juillet: I did appeal to both schools and Holy Cross gave us $8,000 in Grant money and PC gave us $8,000 Grant money. Grant money not guarentee for every year. My income can change every year. HC will cost $57K - $8,000 (Grant) = $49,000 and PC will cost $57K - $18,000 (Merit) & $8,000 (Grant)= $31,500. That is still $17,500 a year & around $69,000 - $70,000 total. PC would not give us anymore Merit money because it was to late when I appealed.

She also got accepted to Connecticut College too but they only have need -based scholarship too. CC cost will be same as HC. I agree that HC is way better school and has more prestige then PC but I do not think it’s worth around $69,000 more.

Is it true that HC pre-med program is very cut-throat and HC faculty might note write a student a recommendtion for Med-School?
