[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we have a neighbor, their child wanted to go to a reasonably top-ish university. Got in early decision. Great! Find out afterwards they end up being charged what I think seems like the max this couple can possibly pay with loans. Think like the above $70K ones you read about and then add on room and board, nickel and dime stuff, etc. YOW. Is that what you get by going early decision? A trade off between admission and maximum payment, basically?[/quote] Pretty much. You are giving up the opportunity to entertain better financial offers. [/quote] You're confusing need based aid with merit aid. Need based aid is not going to change (and the top schools do not give merit aid) Merit aid is found at the 2nd tier schools and below[/quote] Yes and those "2nd Tiered Schools" include schools ranked in the 40s and 50s+. So you don't have to go "far" to get it. [/quote]
