<p>My response was following up the comment on merit aid that would bring down the cost. Indeed, merit aid is usually less available than need based aids while both have some criteria to meet. For UMich, about 70 percent of in state students and 50 percent of out-of-state students receive some form of financial aid. So around 30% in state student pay full price and 70% pay less than the CoA.</p>
