Yes, those are 'super aid ’ colleges. You can’t use them as a basis for aid elsewhere. If you get in - awesome. But odds are, you won’t, nor through any fault of our own. But because those are lottery schools. You do everything you can to be competitive and then you keep your fingers crossed because basically everyone is as talented as you are so 'soft’factors (subjective) will come into play and you have no control over those.
I think k out know really use with looking at FA at those schools :
The issue is that your odds, at best, are 1 in 10, and if you’re a normal excellent students your odds are 1 in 20.
So it’s really important you look at aid (both need based and merit based) at your state schools as well at others than 'superaid ’ schools.
