<p>My mother is freaking out and insisting that I won't be able to go to Emory if I get in because we can't afford it. So, I'm just curious if anyone knows how "giving" Emory is with financial aid? I know there website says that the cap debt and 15k if your household income is below 100k. But is it really that simple? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!</p>
<p>emory does claim to meet full need so in that sense its FA is somewhat more generous than most private schools, but if you’re comparing schools with large endowments (>$5 billion) which emory is one of, their FA is acutally kinda crappy.</p>
<p>In general if you can pay your EFC than the rest of the COA should be mostly covered by grants, with a small portion covered by federal and private loans (where private loans don’t exceed $15k as you mentioned) and a WS job.</p>
<p>but in generally its faimilies making $100-200k that get screwed over the most…emory is a lot more generous for those making <$100k and your EFC should generally be higher than the COA if your income is > $200k.</p>
<p>I found it good. Not amazing, but good. I was also a bit late with my FA application, but I’m satisfied; we earn under 50K a year and I got 55K out of 56K met - the rest will be adequately covered by FAFSA</p>
