<p>OK, so I know that UM doesn't (have to) meet the financial needs of OOS students, and that UM is a smidge stingy on scholarships (despite its massive endowment). I also know that UM is pretty much my first choice (I'm already admitted).</p>
<p>UM sent me an email a while back indicating that I could get around $5K in loans for aid. That's really not something that would make college more affordable for me. What are the chances of me being able to get more financial aid? I really do want to go to UM, but paying full tuition is a bit of a stretch for my family.</p>
