<p>Thanks, guys!</p>
<p>Do hey really mean that I’ll get no loans and no family contribution with income under 40K? My mom owns a house, but it’s not worth much (less than 200K), and she’s unemployed now… my dad isn’t in the picture.</p>
<p>Another question: how does National Merit factor into the aid package? I heard that I’ll get 2K per year with it, but does that help my contribution or is it factored into my university aid?</p>
<p>It seems like packages vary from what is stated… from what they say, I should get a nice deal, but there seems to be a lot of people disappointed with aid judging by some forum comments.</p>
