FYI a close friend of my daughter’s was accepted at Howard for the fall with an adequate Financial Aid package. But in July, they asked for a chunk of cash that couldn’t come out of her financial aid for some reason and she was unable to come up with the money. So she can’t go. She was accepted at some other terrific schools (University of Chicago, De Paul, Temple) and although some of them were willing to take her even at this late date, they couldn’t offer her on campus housing. She’ only 17 so nobody will rent an apartment to her. As it turns out, she’s going to have to go to her local Junior College and live at home. What a heartbreaker!
