<p>I’m pretty sure LauraG said in a previous post that she wasn’t eligible for need-based aid. Pitt is offering her travel money for her to visit, so I assume that Pitt is very interested in her. I’m just guessing it’s because she’s from Hawaii. I think the colleges like to say that all 50 states are represented, but maybe Laura has other credentials. She should definitely apply, even though her SATs are below 1400.</p>
<p>In general, though, need-based aid from OOS publics is going to be pretty inadequate and require loans to meet the gap.</p>
