<p>i also got into their honors college!!</p>

<p>AL34, the 12K is the “scholarship” money. There will probably be other grants and such in the official financial aid package, which they send later.</p>

<p>^ there won’t be a FA package for us, not knocking the 12K, but compared to total cost at many other places, it ends up a bit steep.</p>
