You know what’s weird, Carnegie Mellon gave me a very generous grant compared to other schools. I got $12,500 in a need based grant, plus a work-study. Surprisingly, Northwestern did not give me anything! I have a feeling someone messed up somewhere.

@coolstorybroski grants are entirely need based, carnegie scholarships are merit based.
