<p>Okay, so Middlebury has decided that, based on your family’s income and assets, your parents can afford to spend $33,000 per year on your education. So Midd is giving you about $26,000/year in financial aid. How much of that is grant aid and how much is loans?</p>
<p>Did you apply ED or RD? If RD, what other schools accepted you, and what were your financial aid packages from them like? What state are you in? If there a decent flagship state university?</p>
<p>When it came time to decide on a college, you presumably had all of the financial aid information in front of you. What has changed since then? Did your parents change their minds about how much they’re willing to contribute? Or did $40K a few months ago seem like less of a big deal than it does now? Did you read something that made you question your decision to attend Midd? Just trying to get my mind around this so I can offer better advice. </p>
