Creamania, did you apply for financial aid or did you receive any scholarships?</p>

<p>@sombre Sadly No!!
I didn’t apply for FA b/c when you apply for it, they will pick your app to another section where is highly competitive. (although they always say that applying for FA will not affect the decision)</p>
