My son was accepted EA as an Echols Scholar and we received our financial aid info today. Kind of stunningly disappointing.

It has us paying more than our full EFC, based on expected Cost of Attendance, with another $5500 in student loans (less than half of which are subsidized) on top of that. I had heard that UVA’s financial aid for out-of-state students wasn’t good, but I thought they’d at least get us to our EFC, if not lower.

This is feeling like a real punch in the gut right now.
