<p>Well, regardless of the purpose, I’ll just say:
- Attending UArizona, getting $60k for National Merit + $1k book scholarship + $5k outside scholarship. [I’m paying $1500 per year, and that’s mostly just my mealplan.]
- Accepted at Yale, could have covered it with outside scholarships but didn’t go for reasons unrelated to cost.</p>
<p>None of the aid I got was need-based, by the way. I qualified for it, but scholarships ended up covering everything without loans or anything else. I could pay for college out of my own pocket if my family didn’t want to.</p>
