<p>^My flagship PSU is not a financial safety for me. COA is 22k/year approximately…I can’t do that</p>

<p>Seriously, I thought I had 3 financial safeties. I got into all of them. </p>

<p>One, I don’t really want to go to, so this wasn’t really a financial safety to begin with.</p>

<p>Another, I didn’t get the merit aid package I was hoping for (I was higher than their 75% accepted stats but it is a very good school) so it will be a definite stretch for billed costs alone. Possible, but scary because of increases every year.</p>

<p>The last one, I only got 1/2 of what I hoped for in aid. Trying to negotiate. </p>

<p>Now, I’m just hoping for my reaches & matches.</p>
