<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I got accepted on Early Decision but the estimate of what I will receive from CMU was half of the first estimate they sent me (the one you fill out before you apply). </p>

<p>Is this normal? Do you think something is wrong? I am basically getting about 3K a year, that does not even make a dent in this tution. My family is fairly middle class with not a lot of savings. </p>

<p>Any advice? </p>

<p>You will have to call and ask them. Possibly you put some different numbers in your second estimate?</p>

<p>That really sucks. </p>

<p>If it’s impossible to attend, it might be possible for you to get out of ED.</p>
