<p>Hey guys! My financial aid packages didn’t vary much at all. Of the schools that have excellent need based aid programs (Hopkins, Penn, Cornell, Duke, etc.), my EFC ranged from 6400 to 7100. Duke, unfortunately, gave me a loan (a small one, though) in addition to my EFC. Hopkins’ Bloomberg Scholar program pays for everything except my EFC all 4 years, so it was very affordable. Penn lowered my EFC to beat Cornell’s by $200, so that was awesome. </p>
<p>I’ve committed to Penn!! Woot! Thanks for the encouragement everyone. We’re all going to have so much fun this fall!</p>
