<p>Just for the record Ohio state was an example. 
It was just one of the schools with which I was not very familiar with that has sent me numerous fliers in the mail saying that as long as I was national merit and satisfied the grade requirements I would be eligible for a full scholarship, or near it. Again, if it comes to this, which I hope it doesn’t, will it really be worth losing the opportunity to attend Stanford? So far it seems like yes. Also, I have received a preliminary offer from Stanford, which would come to me taking at least 50k in outside loans (with no outside help), possibly more depending on where my siblings attend college. In addition, has anyone had luck negotiating FA with schools like Stanford?</p>
