If I don’t get matched to a college, is the financial aid from applying through regular decision really that different from the match scholarship? I’ve heard there isn’t much of a difference with most colleges if your EFC is 0. Essentially, you get a full ride either way.
Check each school to see if they meet 100% of need. The difference may be that with a Match the aid is without loans, but with the RD loans may be included in meeting the need.
