This is only an Estimate
The cost of education and related expenses are subject to change without notice. The types of awards and dollar amounts listed are also subject to change. Additionally, upon review of your file by the Financial Aid Office, your Estimated Student and/or Parent Contribution may change. Any change to these contributions will result in a change to your eligibilty for financial aid.

<p>So I'm kinda confused. I'm trying to partially base my decision on which school to attend by analyzing the amount of aid offered by each school. But it said "Your financial aid award will be finalized after a review of your file." So does that mean I'll have to make my decision disregarding aid? B/c of the fact the they may not have it done by the SIR deadline?</p>
