[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at Tj. Many of my students this year are going to George Mason, one did not get into any college he could afford and no scholarships, many are perusing non-stem majors. [/quote]

GMU is a fine school but I think we have a lot more GMU than in the past.  Is this a money thing or academic thing?[/quote]

It could be both and nothing wrong with it. This year grad has some low income families.
GMU is a good school, you can stay with parents. You can save alot of money.
And really, not all families think that undergrad school is worth $250k! [/quote]

There are all kinds of scholarships for STEM strong URM students. [/quote]

That's not at all true. I went to MIT so was about as outstanding of an applicant as it got. I applied to tons of scholarships and got around 10K which reduced the money I was allowed to receive for financial aid. Absolutely did not benefit me or my parents in any way. All those lost hours...if I only knew.

I received only two full-pay tuition offers: my local state school and an out-of-state school. Both were over 50K students and getting into majors was super competitive. I didn't want to be a number at a school. So I paid $$$$$ for MIT.[/quote]

This is the thing nobody tells you about scholarships, it reduces your financial aid dollar for dollar.  [/quote]
