<p>How good is Caltech financial aid? I mean it meets 100%, jst like other schools, but the 100% of need is relative and depends on how generous a school is. ANyone has any experience concerning Caltech financial aid?</p>
<p>Personal experience says it’s extremely stingy toward families with high savings and income, but more generous than just about every other school in the nation for less well-off families.</p>
<p>What would be considered “high savings” ?</p>
<p>if youve completed the FAFSA just looking at the EFC should give you pretty close to what you’re going to be expected to pay. Of course, if there is some sudden change like a recent loss of employment etc you can discuss that with them. The FA office is very friendly, Caltech’s FA in general is pretty good. Just talk with them, they’re nice.</p>
