<p>Have you contacted the finaid office there to have them help you more accurately determine what your EFC will be? They will do this for you so you can know earlier if it is a viable school for you financially. They really do like to get NMF!
I know several students from our area who got incredible financial aid packages. One was a NMF, one was not. The NMF only pays $600 a year.Yes, $600 not $6000! The other student is only paying $3000. Don’t criticize Vanderbilt until you know the real story on their aid.</p>
