How is Everyone's Financial Aid?

<p>How is everyone's financial aid from Emory? Is Emory generous when it comes to financial aid?</p>

<p>Does Emory give a lot of loans or grant?</p>

<p>**** awful, now i'm going to cornell.</p>

<p>really? lots of loans? or worse: paying all? I am really scared because whether I am going to Emory or not SOLELY depends on the financial aid....Vanderbilt gave me a descent financial aid....AND my best friend is going there....but I am not sure...My parents really like EMORY, we used to live 10 minutes away from the campus for couple of years and my dad graduated from Emory too...</p>

<p>Is emory generally VERY bad with financial aid?</p>

<p>PLEASE!! ANY COMMENT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED :)</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I got a great package from Emory (mostly grants)!</p>

<p>My package was amazing!!! Good luck.</p>

<p>They gave me an awesome package--seriously, mostly grants, very little loans.</p>

<p>my finaid wasnt so great....only 10,000/yr in grants</p>

<p>Sounds pretty good to me. Keep in mind that your other school provided you with a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>nothing...nada...sucks!</p>

<p>I got a $2,000 loan..no way I can afford it. Is Emory worth $80,000 in loans on top of law school loans?</p>

<p>yeah i got a $2,000 loan as well, compared to $14,000 off tuition at cornell b/c of in-state.</p>

<p>$2625 unsubsidized stafford loan.....whoooooopy!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>^my exact reaction when i got the official package today rather than having OPUS tell me about it</p>

<p>sucked azz :(
Yea, I'm bitter. Emory was my first choice and now it looks as though I can't get in.. Even though I DID get in.. slap in the face!</p>

<p>Would anyone consider taking a loan for about 30 thousand a year or is that craziness?</p>

<p>I have not gotten my finaid yet. Should i be worried? It has said inquiry acces denied for the past week and it is gettin really close to MAY 1</p>

<p>They generally give out great finaid. I got 40K (but, I'm not going... I'm going to GATech because I like engineering/math/science more, though I'll be taking out loans :().</p>

<p>npaulis, that's freaking crazy. That's what I think anyway. Emory wants me to come up with an extra 20 000 somehow, which would obviously have to come from loans. My dad almost laughed :(</p>

<p>i'm still a junior, but i hear um not so great things about emory</p>

<p>i have a classmate who got into emory, she got NO aid and get this she's a triplet (with her siblings going to elite schools too)</p>

<p>I just received my aid and it is reasonable to an extent. My efc from the fafsa was 50 dollars so I knew it was probably going to be pretty good. They covered 35K with all of that being grants except for 5k of it. It left a substantil gap between cost and finaid but I think I am going to take out a student loan so that I can go.I do think it is strange that they would leave such a wide gap when even UGA covered everything except 400 dollars in all grants and work study.</p>
