<p>I’ve looked into financial aid quite a bit, and I’ve used the financial aid calculators more than once. Financial aid forms aren’t due until early January for Swat Winter ED so I still have some time. What I don’t really understand is Swarthmore’s financial aid policy–I know they look at assets, siblings, etc. and not just income, but I don’t know how much those factors play into the amount of aid you receive. Also, I haven’t found any statistics on financial aid for swat–only that 50 percent receive aid. Swat also does not have a financial aid calculator so I used Amherst. </p>
<p>I didn’t know you apply for aid every year, so thank you for telling me that.

<p>Sorry if I seem a little confused. 
I’ve been mostly working on my essays, and I’m just focusing on Swarthmore’s financial aid now.</p>
