I ran the NPC for Penn, and a bunch of other schools, and a major benefit with Penn is that they have NO loans for financial need, only grants (which do not need to be repaid). And we make a good bit more than what you list; doesn’t matter, the 30K we would get doesn’t have to be repaid.

I know Harvard specifically said “your family makes less than $60,000 per year, you can go for free” when we last checked.

And you are coming from Philly, so that may matter a lot. Penn tends to be very good to Philly students coming in.
