<p>Accepted ED 1 I am so excited as I know I want to attend for sure, but I am in line to get no financial aid and may need to withdraw my acceptance bc my family cannot pay $59,000 per year. That is what my estimate total cost says on OPUS and it is really out of reach. Can anyone suggest how to go about this? PM me for more info.</p>
<p>Congrats to everybody! I applied regular decision with stats that are really similar to everyone who got accepted, so now I feel a lot better about my application…and hopefully I’ll get Oxford Scholars. :D</p>
