One thing that continually seems to getting left out of these discussions. The universities are using need based money to BUY the best and brightest regardless of economic factors. That is why so many of them are turning to need blind admissions. The simple formula for a lot of them is TCA less EFC equals need based money at the 100%'ers. If a school isn’t offering what you think they should it isn’t because they are stingy or anything like that. Perhaps they aren’t a 100% school and your child isn’t at the top of their list. If they were and they wanted them to attend no matter what they would have offered the needed aid.
