@MYOS1634 My EFC at Notre Dame ended up being $5,000 or so, and I’m taking out a $2,000 subsidized loan. I’m currently appealing to the financial aid office at Texas A&M with the help of regional admissions reps to see if I can get a little more to make it doable.
You got a REALLY good deal for Notre Dame. I understand you love TAMU, but why not graduate from Notre Dame, work, and get your Master’s from TAMU? This is totally possible since you’re from Texas and you’d get the best of both worlds.
