No aid?

[YouTube]

<p>Hi. I've posted this before, btw.</p>

<p>I'm an international from India and got admission to Johns Hopkins' Whiting School Of Engineering.
I'd applied for aid (thus risking my chances of admission); however, I wasn't granted any.
Disturbed, I called up the office (Thrice!) and was simply told that "...no resources remain".</p>

<p>Straight to the point (no long rants): I really don't know what to do atm. Should I file an official appeal (would it even help?)
My EFC (According to their site's calculator) is $24,000 out of the $55,524 estimate.
I really don't know what they're expecting of me and my parents.</p>

<p>I really won't waste time (your and mine!) by expressing my desire to attend Hopkins and yadda-yadda. Can't they even give me a THIRTY% aid?</p>

<p>Also, I know aid decisions are need-aware for internationals. But if we really needed it (according to their site) and if I was offered admission, don't you think I should've been given this aid?</p>

<p>If you’ve called them, and got the response, “no resources remain,” then why file an official appeal? That’s not going to help. Unfortunately for you, “no resources remain” literally means “no resources remain!” They aren’t hoarding aid money away from people who need it!</p>

<p>Unfortunately for you, Hopkins doesn’t seem to be deceitful. There is just no money left to give to help finance your education! Have you looked into taking out loans? While you will graduate in debt, at least you’ll graduate from the school you want to go to!</p>

<p>Final recommendation: consider any other safeties that DO offer aid/lower price, and if you’re dead set on Hopkins, then take out some loans.</p>

<p>The deadline for enrollment has passed anyway. Where will you be going instead?</p>
