<p>I’ve really fallen in love with this college. It seems almost perfect for me and I am absolutely sure I wanna apply here early decision. However my guidance counselor kinda scared me off the idea when we discussed financial aid. My family is kinda decent, in that we are above the cutoff for most federal aid, but its not enough to afford bowdoin’s tution</p>
<p>Can someone tell me how Bowdoin is with determining the aid of students and awarding financial aid? Should I be concerned that they may not provide sufficent aid? I really wann go here, I just hope i can pay for it .</p>
<p>A little about my circumstances, Im a first generation Indian, born there, raised here, have a US citizenship. My family five dependants, my parents, myself, my sister, and my grandmother. I know early decision goes by last years income tax but my father has been unemployed for the past two years. He is currently working temporary jobs so his income fluctuates. Last year it was good, this year its not so good. So we mainly have to depend on my mothers salary. I do have a job, but its an internsip which is like 6.00 an hour, so its not much. Would I quailify for a decent amount of aid, preferably atleast half the tution would be nice.</p>
