<p>i dont live in michigan, and i won't be able to afford out of station tuition. my efc is pretty low but i heard uofmich has virtually no aid for out of state students, so my question is, should i bother applying?</p>
<p>If you have the academic credentials to get in, and assuming you really like the school, it is worth applying. Otherwise, it may not be worth it.</p>
<p>Agree, if you are at the top of the heap stats-wise apply - if Michigan is one of your favorites - and see what happens come spring. Being able to compare financial aid packages is something a high percentage of kids have to do. Just make sure you have a financial safety on your list that you are willing to attend. </p>
<p>While OOS financial aid may not be the best, it does exist. If your EFC is under 5,000, you could get a decent financial aid package. If you think you have a shot at getting in, I see no harm in trying. Best of luck to you in your search and final decision!</p>
<p>yea, if i have to pay 10k tutition each year, i’m not gonna go, i just don’t think its worth it. </p>
<p>actually jk i will be lucky to even get 10k tuition lol</p>
<p>Michigan has historically been less than generous with OOS students. However, the current multi-billion fund raising campaign is aimed at improving financial aid. I would definitely apply if you feel strongly about the University.</p>
<p>Did you check the NPC?</p>
<p>i checked npc, and it’s 9k each year, but i highly doubt i will get this generous aid.</p>
<p>If you are sure you did not input any error and your parents are not self employed, it should be a reasonable estimate. They do provide generous aids to low income OOS students like you. Now the question is whether you will be accepted.</p>
<p>ah ok, i will try applying then, thanks</p>
