We received financial aid offer last week - only had loan offers. Then few days later a Scholarship came from Carlson for $5k for 1 year (and was not included in the financial aid letter). We are out of state, and previously the tuition was attractive but not so much if rate hikes of 9%. She has been given $120k over 4 years from Loyola, $60k over 4 years from Fairfield University - both good schools - tuitions are now comparable to U of Minn or less. Waiting to hear from 3 other schools. Does anyone know if U of Minn negotiates?
