<p>OK, you have preliminary financial aid offers from your two early action schools. What about the regular decision schools that you are applying to? Is there any chance that you will see more money from these places? What about your financial safety schools? Did you or did you not apply to at least one school that you can afford without financial aid other than federally determined financial aid? If you haven’t got a financial safety on your list, you need to take a long hard look at your in-state publics and your local community colleges where you can get the first two years on the cheap.</p>
<p>If money is going to be a deciding factor for you, you still have a long hard road to travel between now and April 1.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
