<p>EA Chances please?</p>

<p>ALSO, I realize that UMich is so costly for an OOS. If it's possible that i can get in, I'm wondering how much financial aid i would probably get. Will it still cost me $40,000+/semester at UMich?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Great chance for EA admission.
Little chance for OOS merit aid.</p>

<p>so according to you, you feel like i wouldn’t get any money at all?</p>

<p>Little to no merit aid, I’d guess. Instate merit aid is hard enough to come by; I can’t imagine trying to get OOS. You might get a nice package for need based aid, etc. but I wouldn’t count on merit aid if that’s an important factor in your decisions. Best thing to do would be apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>^ What that person said.</p>

<p>I hear that UMich has great financial, need-based aid. </p>

<p>I heard just a few days ago of an OOSer who had a high FAFSA. She was given $37,000/yr–only leaving room and board to be paid. With a work-study job, she’ll probably leave with less than $7,000 of debt.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think you were trying to provide support for UM’s good need based FA. </p>

<p>Do you mean that there was a high EFC? If so, doesn’t that mean that there is LESS NEED in that case? Or did you mean there was a low EFC?</p>

<p>Is there somewhere on UM’s website that gives institutional data on FA - how much to OOS, how much is merit, how much is need based?</p>

<p>thanks guys. im going to just apply and hope for the best even though its not extremely promising.</p>
