Financial Aid???

I got accepted to Michigan State University and Central Michigan University. Is it ok to pay the commitment fee for both colleges to see who gives the most financial aid and then pick?
If I have an EFC of 0 how much financial aid do you think Michigan State will give?

Have you run the NPC?
If not, go to the financial aid page and look for their net price calculator, it’s mandatory.
You should wait till you have your financial aid package to deposit, but you CAN give a housing deposit. You don’t need to do that before you have your financial aid package though - call Admissions, say you were admitted last week, when can you expect to get your financial aid award letter?
Did you apply to the Honors college? Of not, do so, as there are often honors scholarships. (There’s nothing to lose.)

The NPC says I should receive like $10,000 in fincancal aid form MSU how accurate do u think the NPC is??

I was admitted last week. According to the website, all applicants with regular admissions are considered for Honor college. If we don’t hear after 8 weeks of admission, then we can apply again
