<p>Threads from last year indicate that CMU's financial aid is not very good in that there is often a gap between EFC as well as a lot of what they offer is in loans. Is this true?</p>
<p>Thats one of the reasons why I applied ED. They cover 100% of your need if you get in that way. A lot of it is infact covered by loans and work study. Its abit disappointing, but I'll live. :)</p>
<p>An example of what I might be given. Dont expect yours to be as generous if you are RD.</p>
<p>^ I really wish I knew that lol</p>
