<p>Thanks for your kind words, Dairy State K8. I will talk to the financial aid office, and will continue to hope for the best. </p>
<p>The article by Grinnell’s President also said that, while other colleges are making their own aid adjustments in recognition of flaws in the FAFSA, Grinnell doesn’t. An article in a Newsweek “How to Pick a College” special edition stated that Grinnell refuses to meet the more generous offers that other colleges make, calling it “want-based aid.”</p>
<p>These articles give the impression that Grinnell is steadfastly standing firm against the middle class (even while bemoaning our plight). I hope not, but I guess that we’ll see.</p>
