but I ended up falling into a nice turn of financial aid events]



Can you be more specific because this is the kind of thing that gives kids false hope. It’s not hard to use calculators and talk to schools to get a very good read on what you qualify for. If your parent’s income and assets say you won’t get aid, without a major change, you won’t.

Now a big scholarship could happen, but it does not for most affluent kids. So many do have to face these facts before applying. It’s not defeatist, it’s reality.
