[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be upset that I'm not poor AND was smart and savvy enough to figure out how to get financial aid for my DC.[/quote]

So you steal.[/quote]

Nope. To steal is to take something from someone without their knowledge or consent. I applied for FA, fully disclosed my income and responded to every single question asked of me. I did not lie. I did not hide assets. I did not under report or over report. My DC's school reviewed my application and made me an offer. I accepted. Just because I am not poor does not mean I do not have financial obligations that made me an acceptable candidate for financial aid. Like I said, you might want to take a look at that MEDIAN income chart and ask yourself exactly what does it mean to be poor before you start calling someone "poor" like its a bad word or a disgraceful thing. Check you rich (if you are even rich -- I doubt it) egotistical crap at the door. [/quote]

Wow. Somewhere in the DMV, Financial Aid officers and major donors are checking the rolls to find one single Mom, transplanted from NY, with a doctorate from a top 15 university. You, my dear, have crossed a line. There are many families who would gladly take your place. And don't believe your child is that special. There are far more deserving, talented students than financial aid packages. Your ramblings embarrass me. My family has been in both positions - from full pay to financial aid. None of us know what the future may bring. Count your lucky stars and support your school, and try to be more tactful, please. DC is a very small town, and the burbs are even smaller. [/quote]

Good luck to them figuring it out...because after all they don't have anything else to do. Yeah right. You are funny. Your wishful thinking is what should be embarrassing to you.[/quote]
