<p>accepted!
but my estimated cost of attendance is $48,450...that's a lot
what are yours?</p>
<p>I'm in!! :) and with the JES scholarship, as well! <em>Grin</em></p>
<p>Ours was pretty high as well. They did something a little odd with the numbers. I am concerned because D received an outside scholarship and they say that they use it to offset any Fed Aid they have already offered. I emailed them - Husband was also laid off after we submitted all forms - don't know if they will do another review.</p>
<p>D really likes the school, but I don't know if we can afford it. =(</p>
<p>She didn't apply before November 1 to be considered for any scholarships - I wonder if that was why? How about everyone else?</p>
<p>Yeah, i didn't get any financial aid from them :( but i might get a few outside scholarships. I wasn't able to turn in my app by Nov. 1, and I'm not sure if I would have qualified for JES anyway. So, even though Scripps is my first choice, I may not end up going since UCSD is so much cheaper. <em>sigh</em> My parents tell me that I should pick the one I like the best regardless of price, but I can't help but feel bad. My brother did that (chose the one school that didn't offer him any money) and I don't want to have them paying 100,000 a year in school tuitions for the both of us, especially since my dad doesn't have a job right now.</p>
<p>yeah it seems like there are lots of dilemmas where people have to choose between expensive dream school vs. less expensive okay school. </p>
<p>i didn't apply for the nov. 1 deadline (so early!!), so i didn't get any scholarships and got around $6,000 FA. lol...</p>
<p>i think i'll take occidental over scripps, since the cost will be around $25,000...as opposed to $48,000</p>
<p>got in! :)
but im exactly in the same boat as you, noinspiration, its SOO expensive.
and if your not a JES winner then there is like nooo way you can get other financial aid thats not need-based.</p>
<p>are you guys on a high income bracket or middle class?
cause from what seem like you're saying you didn't get really any aid....</p>
<p>I think it is the way they distribute their "aid". D didn't receive much in grants, but received two loans and a work study which brought it within a few thousand of our EFC. However, she has received an outside scholarship, which they will most likely use to replace the loans - so it's a wash. The interesting thing is that the organization who offers the scholarship insists that the school not reduce any FinAid because they feel the scholarship should be a separate thing in addition to whatever was already awarded. Every school does it differently.</p>
<p>We still can't afford what our expected contribution would be. It is very unfortunate because it is a very good school and offers those who attend many unique opportunities. Lucky for her, she has many options to choose from. </p>
<p>Good luck to the rest of you. Looks like this one will not be an option.</p>
<p>my family is in the middle-high income.
but i didnt receive any info on grants, federal aid, etc. that i am eligible for...
will that info come later?</p>
<p>I got in! :D Just received it today.
I'm so relieved. Now comes the finaid discussion with my parents.....</p>
<p>Woo-hoo, my D. is in. A school she's very interested in, so it's great news.</p>
<p>My D is in ( with no aid but none expected) as well.</p>
<p>Shrinkrap, congrats! My D is in, and we are way too "rich" to hope for any aid either :rolleyes: Oh, well.</p>
<p>^Congrats to you and yours as well BunsenBurner!</p>
