<p>I, like so many others, have fallen victim to the horribly written and monstrous FAFSA.</p>
<p>It is expecting me to pay more than TWICE as much as my family could POSSIBLY afford in the wildest dreams of our wildest dreams.</p>
<p>I know that colleges often reduce your bumper price, but has anyone ever heard of them dropping off 15 grand? I got in ED1, and am a candidate for the Belk Scholarship. I got a <em>personal</em> note from my admissions counselour on my essays, and got honors in both of my classes at July Experience, which only 1/5 students could do (and most got in already).</p>
<p>But I cannot afford to go to Davidson, a school that I love, partly for its dedication to affordability.</p>
<p>Ugh this just sucks :(</p>
