I have heard mixed results about the financial aid at Northwestern. Is the financial aid comparable to other top schools?
It worked very well for me. At first, my aid was okay. Then I appealed and got an extra $13,000 in aid.
@CaliCash Would you say your family is on the lower end or the higher end of the income scale? I am only wondering because I am thinking of applying but the net price calculator showed a a fairly high net price, and my family is middle class. I wouldn’t want to apply and then find out I can’t afford to attend.
Higher end. $200K+ @Ksty1098
What about middle class families? Do they usually get significant aid? i also hear that they give loans in the package and they have their own loans to cover the cost of attendance.
