[quote=Anonymous]The. admissions staff is not going to give a lot more information about Financial Aid because they are trying to get the maximum number of applications. Telling people about this $3 million pot of money and that 1/3rd of students get some it is a good way to encourage people who don’t feel they can afford the school to apply. They are not going to tell you about what your odds are or how much you might get. They’ll let you imagination and optimism work its magic. ALL these schools do this. Just read the description of the FA programs on their websites. It’s almost always stated the same way with the total amount of FA and the percentage who get it. The idea that schools don’t consider FA need in the Admissions process is strange on its face. What would Visitation do if at the end of the Admissions process they ended up with a class in which 2/3rds not 1/3rd) needed FA to attend? Where’s that $1,000,000 going to come from?[/quote]
