[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Show a lot of interest, ED, and be from a state that doesn’t send them a lot of applicants.

ED is a must. A must.

The system is so broken that the most expensive schools favor the rich where you can ED and be willing to be $80k/year.  Only the wealthy can afford to ED there…or the foolish who are willing to take massive loans.  [/quote]

Does Northwestern really include PLUS loans in the EFC calculations for true middle class kids? I tend to doubt it. My guess would be that Northwestern would have good aid for kids with income under about $150,000. And I know that $180,000 feels poor on the East Coast, but it’s not really that poor.

If all Northwestern does is include $30,000 in federal student loans in the calculations: Coming out of Northwestern with $30,000 in student loans shouldn’t be a big deal for a kid practical and dynamic enough to be a natural fit for Northwestern. Chicago has a great job market, and it’s not nearly expensive as big cities on the coasts. Great kids who stay there should have an easy time paying off a modest amount of loans.
