Thank you for all your input! We are still very conflicted and I did not mention it earlier, but I lost my job in Dec 2017 which makes our financial situation very different now. We did not receive any fin aid from JHU. Also we had applied ED and my D really wants to go JHU - feels it is better for pre-med. If she were an Engineering major, would have jumped at Georgia Tech. But now with my job loss and the burden of 300K at JHU - really in a bind. The Stamps scholarship with full COA looks extremely attractive. Versus moving to a smaller house, and being very financially tight. We also have another child who is a sophomore at Univ. Have appealed the zero aid at JHU but still waiting to hear back. Does any one have any experience with getting a release from an ED due to loss of income if the Fin aid is not enough?
