<p>Keilexandra - thanks for catching me on that one. I was focused on the title of the thread more than on the specific “no loans” point.</p>
<p>OP - A couple of years ago, I saw what one parent wrote about the financial aid officers from eight or ten colleges/universities on a different website. Each school’s package was different from the next, and the difference between the least favorable package and the most favorable one (all admits and with some kind of aid) was well over 20k. Even “peer” institutions produced aid that was that different from each other. I’ve lost the link or I would post it here. What I learned from that was that there is no perfectly reliable way to predict the aid you might get.</p>
