I really love Pomona College, however I am in a financial predicament. Not even considering admissions (which are a crapshoot, but I’m not too worried) Aid is my biggest concern. Since Pomona does not give merit aid and only gives financial need and my family is middle income ($120,000) How do students cope with debt or such?

I’m looking at scholarships, but apparently if you get scholarships Pomona just reduces the amount of money that they give you. Has anyone been forced not to attend because they cannot accept the debt? My parents would most likey have to take on the debt which really stinks because then i might not be able to go. Another question, how do students with debt, or even students who go on to Graduate School with little financial support manage? I can’t imagine pre-med students with $100,000 in debt. oy! Someone please encourage me so i won’t give up the dream!
