College meeting 100% STUDENT FINANCIAL NEED?

Paying for College

<p>What BobWallace said is important:</p>

<p>Schools that meet 100% of need will meet each student’s full need (as the school calculates it).</p>

<p>Schools that meet less than 100% of need . . . well, they can do anything they want! An 80% need met school might give you NOTHING, and a 24% need met school might like you enough to cover EVERYTHING!</p>

<p>If you’re at the bottom of the applicant pool for a school that does not meet 100% of need, don’t hold your breath for a good FA offer. But if you’re one of the tippy-top candidates, and they’d be lucky to get you, you could get an amazing offer! Just remember that there’s no guarantee . . . so, no matter how good your stat’s are, a school that doesn’t meet 100% of need cannot be considered a financial safety school.</p>

<p>^ What’s been stated above is VERY important. There are no absolutes in Fin. aid until you apply to each school with your specific situation,you won’t know what you’ll get.</p>
