Thank you @carachel2 because I personally don’t belive that the dozens of scholarships that put their faith in me to get an education though I was a “fluke” . I’m guessing they all saw something. I’d understand if it was one or two, but their were too many for me, and many others to believe it was jsut complete luck. They did openly say that they stopped reviewing applications after mine since I turned mine in so early and they knew I had what they were looking for.

as they removed my loans and work-study after my need was met

do loans count as grants? Doesn’t everyone recieve them ? vs

the fact that they removed your grants AND your loans after your scholarships were awarded

And um you should check out this link before you believe that. Since you may have misread my quote. But even if that were true, it means the scholarships were need blind.(remember, scholarships don’t see your EFC) http://financialaid.tamu.edu/undergraduate/apply-for-aid

Here are some reminders for anyone reviewing my responses

My info is relevant and on topic (afterall I do keep providing solutions and feedback applicable to people with a high efc.)

By the time I accepted my offer from A&M I had NO AWARDS! Besides my donors.

Again I’ve met a lot of other people who have tried and succeeded with the same idea. The kid third in my class has an efc of 41k (not 50k but still) So I guess he is a fluke as well since I didn’t ask most of my friends what their efc’s were . Same for everyone else who tried the whole “apply to scholarships and you will get enough money” ) . But hey maybe they were flukes too.

But honestly @carachel2 can you say that with a high efc you could not try ANY of the ideas suggested in the initial post? And I though I was hoping on with suitable alternatives . They worked for a good amount of people on this website so its is worth CONSIDERING for everyone else. I’ve never heard a failed story on this whole website after trying it and all I’m fighting for is how people should consider it when applying despite having a high efc.
