@Hypocrit - That is entirely understandable. However, if you need or want significant amounts of aid, and Dartmouth didn’t give you enough aid to make it affordable, it is reasonable to expect that the other top institutions won’t give you enough aid either. You need to focus on places that will be affordable. Every year plenty of students who get into places like Dartmouth, but can’t afford them, decide to go Howard, U of AL, and the other places that offer a lot of merit-based aid money. If you end up at one of those, you will find lots of students as well-qualified (or even better qualified) than yourself.

If you want to be in college in the US this fall, and you have an affordable offer, accept it and don’t look back.
