<p>I got accepted to Middlebury and Colgate.
I really dont know where to go.</p>
<p>I think that if I go to middlebury, my chances to get into a good graduate school is better than when I attend Colgate. </p>
<p>But the dillemma is this, middlebury is my first choice of the two..
but at Middlebury my EFC is 9000, while at Colgate just 5000
also at Middlebury my total loan at the end of four years is 16000 dollar, while
at Colgate will be nothing... </p>
<p>What would you suggest that I should do</p>
<p>Is it possible to send my colgate financial award to middlebury, in the hope that they raise their finaid?</p>
<p>and yes, it is possible. Talk to someone there and say Colgate, which is a comparable university, is givine my X amount. However, I really want to go to Middlebury. Is there anyway that you can come close to Colgate's offer?</p>
<p>Ok, I am gonna to ask them to go near the EFC of Colgate...</p>
<p>Should I also try to push them to lower the loan portion?
Do you think that they are likely to lower that amount, as that is not effecting me right now, but in the future when I will be earning money</p>
<p>make them bid on you</p>
<p>I received the same $4000 loan in my package. I have found many people on this forum and others that also got that same loan. I think it is more or less a standard part of the Middlebury package.</p>
