I’m super ecstatic that I got in, but I’m a little worried about the financial aid. If my parents make around 80k a year combined, should I receive a decent amount of money?
Congratulations!!
I’m a current student, and from my experience and from talking to other students, NU will be generous, but won’t give you quite enough - you’ll get enough to make you think that maybe you can afford it, but just know that bills add up (and tuition also increases by a couple thousand every year). If you have any other options that you like just as much but that gave you better fin aid, I’d go there instead. However, I realized that Northwestern was the only school that had everything I wanted, so, despite finances, I don’t regret it.
