Should I negotiate for aid?

I had my family contribution reduced to $0 after explaining my family
circumstances to the Princeton* financial aid officer. This usually
entails sending in a cash flow statement for any one given month
in the past year (income, spend, savings, debt).

You might want to consider the earnings advice being given on this forum
in light of your intended concentration/major. Doing ‘Integrated
Sciences’ for example and holding a job may be a relatively more stressful
situation than some other areas? Someone at Pton now
could comment on that.

(*disclosure: I did not choose to matriculate at Princeton)
