@“aunt bea” I am well aware of the costs, lol. What student isn’t? Where did you even get that notion? It’s the aid that’s unclear. My FAFSA tells me my EFC, how much I might get for my Pell Grant (And doesn’t that also vary greatly depending on the cost of the school?), and that’s it. I don’t see anything about state grant amounts either, so seems to me as though students are left in the dark until after the fact of enrollment. Trust me, I’ve done my fair share of research and there are still gaps that go unanswered. I have a 3.88 GPA, generally considered competitive, but guess what? So do TONS of other students! Did you know that as a transfer level psychology student applying to SDSU, there is only a 9% chance of getting accepted (according to Fall 2018 stats)? You could have awesome grades but that school is so impacted that it’s almost a lottery at that point. There’s no way to guarantee that you’ll make it into a school, and it’s foolish and ignorant to blame someone for not being able to guarantee that they have “the grades to be admitted.”
