Actually 18% of an $82k income is good. Many have to pay 25% or more with that income.



Is this true for colleges with 100% meet need financial aid, or are you talking about other colleges who don’t meet full need? Keep in mind that we don’t have a lot of assets, as seen by our previous numbers.

I’m not really complaining, but it’s odd that BC’s aid would be drastically higher than Cornell’s. I expected to pay around 12K, not 15K.



Also, your income went up $19K but your payments only $6.5K. Obviously it’s a graduated scale.



I know that, but I didn’t expect the increase to be that drastic, thats all. I thought the percentage would be closer to 15% of income (or 12K).

Thanks. I don’t really know much about this, so I would really like some input.
