what's penn's financial aid like?

<p>i've looked on its website but i want some more insight...my family's income is around 140k</p>

<p>I got phenomenal aid. quick summary: my parents are divorced. I live with my dad, who is married with a combined income of $80k. my mom is single and unemployed, income of $0. Penn gave me about $51k of aid, I only have to pay $6k :slight_smile: so from my experiences, Penn aid is fantastic!</p>

<p>Excellent. Beat every other school on my list by thousands upon thousands.</p>

<p>It’s really good</p>

<p>its not to hot if you go ED</p>

<p>otherwise Ive heard good things</p>

<p>Not sure why ED FA would be any different…and if your circumstances change as the year goes on, contact the FA office.</p>

<p>

<p>Well, for one thing, you wouldn’t be able to have Penn match other colleges’ offers. The difference could be in the thousands of dollars.</p>

<p>It’s definitely not the best, but it’s good. My initial grant packages. from most generous to least:</p>

<ol>
<li>Columbia </li>
<li>Duke </li>
<li>Penn </li>
<li>Dartmouth (far too many loans)</li>
<li>Brown </li>
</ol>

<p>In the end, Penn matched Columbia’s package, so it’s all good. :)</p>

<p>actually, I applied ED and my aid couldn’t be any better. see my post above. :)</p>
