<p>Man, it's funny you would mention that because like 10 minutes ago I checked my mail and found that I received some information I requested from Princeton. The first thing I see is that the average grant for family incomes of <$40k is 99% of tuition, room, and board. That sounds awesome, but getting accepted to Princeton may be the hard part.</p>
<p>Do you know more schools that have lessened or eliminated the amount of loans in their student aid packages?</p>

<p>I'm planning on adding on some courses so that I qualify for med school, to keep that open as a possibility after graduation. So does that mean I'm better off not even applying to CMU? I still might decide I want to be a practicing engineer, but I want to keep my options open.</p>
