<p>yumichicken,</p>
<p>It looks like the Simmons package left you with $34,572 to pay. That is simply unaffordable. Take it off your list, and look at your other options. Here is a calculator that will help you compare all of your aid packages: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Advanced Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid) </p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
<p>None of those colleges guarantee to meet full need, which, at an EFC of zero, you would need to be able to afford a private college.</p>
<p>Do you have any financial safeties, such as your in-state public universities?</p>
<p>i applied to umass boston last minute… that will be the only school i can afford?</p>
<p>Probably. Unless your other two schools give you much better financial aid packages.</p>
<p>The vast majority of us go to public universities. Without significant merit or need-based aid, private colleges are generally unaffordable for the working and middle class.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
