financial aid worries

<p>my parents are in the 150,000+ income bracket but have two other kids and debt. they have told me that without a decent financial aid package I can't go to nu if I get in this year. I am looking at outside scholarships but I have no idea what will be offered to me by nu. can anyone help me out with suggestions or personal experience on how they handled the tuition?</p>

<p>Divide your EFC by the number of kids in college and you’ll get a ballpark estimate of what you’ll be paying. </p>

<p>If no kids in college, probably full tuition.</p>

<p>NU DOES NOT TAKE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY.
You have to be very careful with financial aid at NU because the only aid you get is directly from them.</p>

<p>The above is misleading. If you have outside scholarships, NU will take them. But frequently that will be subtracted rom the aid package they’re offering you.</p>

<p>NU happily took D’s outside scholarship money.</p>
