<p>I know you said you were dead set against MSU, but it should have been an option, as should have Albion and other very good in-state schools that probably would have given you full rides. But, that is in the past.</p>
<p>I also find it very strange that UMich gave you very little aid. Many of my friends have EFCs in the 12k-15k range and even they are getting aid from UMich in non-merit form. I would contact UMich and see if you can get more aid.</p>
<p>I do not think that you should go 80k-100k for undergrad. It will be nearly a lifelong burden that I do not believe you should do to yourself. </p>
<p>What can your parents contribute? Do you have ANY financial safeties at all? If not, you may have to do a year at a CC or take a gap year.</p>
<p>Plus, there is some aid available from the State of Michigan. 1000 from the MME and things like that.</p>
