<p>If you were to apply to an expensive out of state college and you were accepted, would you know the amount of financial aid you would receive (like a full ride) BEFORE you chose to go there or after?
Getting the financial aid might make the difference as to whether someone could or could not go out of state so I was wondering when they tell you</p>
<p>Generally, yes. Colleges, whether in state or out, private or public, will generally mail you your financial aid package with or shortly after your acceptance. But it will be before May 1, when your response is due.</p>
