<p>W&M claims to generally meet 80% need for out of state transfers, but this has definitely not been the case.</p>
<p>1) Where is this claim?</p>
<p>2) I’m never really sure what these numbers mean. After all, some people have little need, so meeting most of it is rather easy. So, if a person has $10k in need, and he’s given a 7500 student loan and 1500 in work study, does that mean that 90% of THAT person’s need is met? If so, it’s interesting because the student hasn’t been given one cent of “free money.” </p>
<p>3) I mean, the business is showing a -$650,000 debt as well.
The school may have a hard time believing that your family is living on $5k per year. They may be thinking that your family is padding the business deductions with “family expenses”…like cell phones, car expenses, gasoline, etc. </p>
<p>4) but I know that other out of state transfers with similar situations received more than $20,000 in grants.
Was any of that money scholarship money? Were those students’ stats higher? Have you seen their aid packages to see exactly what was in them?</p>
<p>5) Is this a CSS Profile school?</p>
