Low Financial aid.....?

<p>Well, I applied and got into Brandeis and when I received my award letter, I was left with over 10K to cover myself. I got almost everything covered at Williams and Amherst and no loans there either…hmm… i just thought Brandeis would also give more aid. That’s all. Anyone else notice this, and anyone know why?</p>

<p>If fin aid is still a concern, I know a bunch of people who called the school and got more aid than was first offered (I'm class of '08).</p>

<p>That's good to hear. But, I think i'm set with finaid.... I'll be going to Williams.</p>

<p>Just curious.. if Brandeis gave you the same or better financial aid than Williams, would you have chosen Brandeis?</p>

<p>I have a feeling that I would have chosen Williams anyway. The atmosphere that I felt at Williams was just wonderful. It's more than ranking or anything like that. I really like the location, the size and the tutorial and winter study programs.</p>
