early decision effect on financial aid

<p>My D is considering applying ED. I know CMC does not do loans so that is great; but do any past ED accepts know if FA was less as is sometimes said to be the case with ED?</p>

<p>Also; anyone get in ED with less than superstar stats?</p>

<p>bump! bump bump</p>

<p>i wasn't an ED student.. but based on my experience with FAFSA, whatever your expected contribution is... will remain the same. They won't expect you to pay more than you are able to. It really depends on your income, property ownership, etc. Let's say for example, your Expected Family Contribution is 10k according to FAFSA. CMC cannot say "we want you to pay all 50k of tuition/board" because that is impossible. If something like that does happen.. you are allowed to break your ED contract. </p>

<p>If my response didn't really help you, you should call the Financial Aid office, I'm SURE they will be willing to help you and answer all your questions. :)</p>

<p>Fin aid for ED admits is the same as it is for regular decision admits. No need to play games here because CMC is so well financed in the first place.</p>
