Hi, i recently got admitted to MIT under EA and i was wondering a few things and maybe some of the Alumni or current students could answer.

First off, I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY wanna go to MIT, but its hella expensive. If its not too personal too ask, can anyone tell me how much financial aid you received? My income is in the 100k per year area and i was wondering what a good estimate of aid would be.

Secondly, I know that MIT doesnt offer merit-based scholarships but do they offer ANY money in ways that arent through FAFSA?

Third(ly?), Are any of you guys current physics majors? i was wondering what exactly im getting myself into (beyond whats on the website). Like could you say whether you are enjoying it, having second thoughts, describe the workload etc?

Fourth (of all?), I play the violin and i was wondering whether or not i would have enough free time to continue.

Fifth (off?), Will have be able to have a social life at all? (not that it matters much… xP)

Sixth, tho i think i know the answer to this one, is procrastination even close to possible?

ok the end.

thanks!
