<p>Does financial aid mean a low-middle class family can afford to send their admissible kid to Wharton? How much aid do you get depending on your income?</p>
<p>How do you get scholarships to your top choice schools?</p>
<p>Bump helpful people.</p>
<p>You have to fill out your fafsa to see how much your Expected Family Contribution is, according to income. Also, even if it seems high, consider the cost of your school in comparison, and also, since you're looking at Wharton, this from UPenn's website:
"The University of Pennsylvania is committed to working with families to make a Penn education affordable for all students. As part of that commitment, students from families with annual incomes of less than $100,000 who qualified for need-based aid will not have loans included as part of their financial aid package beginning in Fall 2008. In Fall 2009 this policy will extend to all families who qualify for need-based aid." This is pretty rockin'. </p>
<p>Scholarships: apply. for basically everything you qualify for, within the school, externally, through organizations, whatever. Anything you think you might even possibly qualify for, do it.</p>
