b@rium, i’m sorry, but you’re wrong. you’re committed. EVERYONE is asked how much they can contribue, not just intls, and mt holyoke is not very good with fulfilling the EFC, but they are very good at fulfilling the IFC. When I applied a few years ago, my FAFSA stated that my EFC was $163. Mt Holyoke’s IFC for me, because of my parents’ assets, was over $32,000. I wasn’t ED, but this is the school i wanted to go to and no, I don’t regret it (yet), because I think it was worth it.

I know ED students who got screwed with the FA. There are people who end up not returning because FA gets worse yearly. A few students who were here last year actually ended up not coming because of the whole $ issue. Yes, Mt Holyoke is generous, but no, Mt Holyoke is not fairly so.

Good luck and welcome to this place! :)
