<p>I just got my statement of financial aid in the mail today and my family and I are a little confused.</p>
<p>Having subtracted the expected contribution(s) and the total offer made by the college from the cost of attendance, there still remains a difference of $1600. Do we have to pay the extra or will the college pay for it? We don't exactly know where that goes in the Wellesley financial scheme of things >_<</p>
<p>Hmm… I would call the finaid office and ask just so you know everything ends up right. Or you could post to the Financial Aid discussion forum on the MyWellesley portal. </p>
<p>Perhaps someone else here knows more about how financial aid works… Good luck!</p>
<p>Are you sure you don’t have a $1600 loan? That’s the exact amount of the loan for freshmen who qualify for financial aid but whose families have an income too high for their no-loan policy.</p>
<p>Well I rejected that loan, so I figured it would be included somewhere else 
Anyway, my mom called up the office and had stuff explained to her, so everything’s fine now.</p>
