Finally got my packet from RISD in last friday. here is the break down, im sure everyone is aware of the costs. I was awarded no gov aid (I made too much money last year), recieved merit scholarships from all 3 and gov loans from all 3 and here is the amounts.

note that the gov loans are included in total
SAIC offered 15k merit scholarship and 4k in SAIC grant: total reward of 26k per year

MICA offered 19k merit scholarship and 2k in MD grant: total reward of 35k per year

RISD offered 32k merit scholarship: total reward 42k per year

Im a little upset SAIC did not offer me any more, because i fell in love with chicago. and MICA offered me a good deal i guess but honestly im sick of living in baltimore and all my friends go there. I was surprised RISD offered me that much, Providence is gorgeous but super boring (Im used to a lot of night life being 27 and from Baltimore).

How did everyone else fare with their packages and where are u guys going?
