<p>Wow, thanks a lot for the great help, the links and the answers! I realize I’ve not got much of a chance, but this is the one thing I really want, so I think I should apply myself as best I can. </p>
<p>It’s sad that admit-deny is possible… a friend of a friend was accepted to Yale on RD, but couldn’t go because the school’s calculated costs expected her parents to sell practically all of their posessions in order to meet expenses. I just wondered if transfer might be any different, but apparently not… </p>
<p>Just wondering, though, is financial aid ‘fixed’ for all four years of college, or can it change depending on changes in family circumstances? For example, if someone in my family were to make truckfuls of money quite suddenly in my sophomore year, would that be gobbled up by a college tuition
adjusted to meet that shift in income?</p>
<p>And about the financial aid package - can I select which sort of aid I want to mark out as a primary source of aid? Is there, say, a sort of form on which I can indicate that I want my aid to comprise only ‘work-study aid’?</p>
<p>Thanks very much, again.</p>
