1190, we have an FA package from Carleton on the table right now that expects us to borrow more than 3X our EFC per year, and includes smaller, more realistic loans for our S. I can report, however, that Bowdoin’s FA package contains no loans, but requires us to borrow about 4X our EFC per year. It’s basically Carleton’s minus the loans for my S. Our income is below the figure you mention.

The upside is that my S got into these great schools. The downside is that their FA seems to be just about equally unrealistic.

woohoo: Haverford is a great place too. Congratulations!
