Hey I applied ED last year and I got great aid. I only have to pay $7,000 for this whole year at vandy. All the rest is grants except I got $2000 in work study that will go towards my personal expenses. Of course, there was really no doubt that my family would get financial aid it was just a question of how much. My parents did not want me to do ED but the financial aid office helped my mom determine what our aid would be before I applied ED so after my parents looked at that they were ok with letting me do it. If you really want to go to Vandy but you feel like you’re borderline, ED can be a big help in getting you in so I would recommend talking to the financial aid office about estimating your aid beforehand. Basically, they will tell you a specific online EFC calculator to use and then everything besides the EFC will be grants except $2000 in work study if you qualify.
