<p>How is tuft's financial aid? If my family is <40k and i have strong extracurriculars and a pretty good gpa and live in MA, what kind of financial aid package will i expect?</p>
<p>Very errr polar? From what I’ve seen and experienced, you either get ALOT of financial aid (near to full-ride) or little (leaving gaps in your EFC) to none (none) at all.
the “i have strong extracurriculars and a pretty good gpa and live in MA” is completely irrelevant in the financial aid equation. If you’re in and your family makes less than $40k, you basically have a near-full ride.
If your family makes under $40k, Tufts eliminates loans and replaces them with GRANTS
