And it's MTal's bluntness, not the crushing $210K in debt you'd accrue, that you're blaming for crushing your dream?

Are we finally hitting the breaking point with tuition? This trend of raising the tuition every year must eventually stop.

did you get into any other schools who offered you any scholarship $. I think you would hve if you got into cornell... Try to use that for some barganing power. There are probably a lot of students who withdrew, who had some merit aid, that you may be able to recieve now.
Nah. No money yet. UW doesn't give it, USC WL'd me (I know, right?), and the rest aren't interested I dont think.
I'm going to call about the possibility of merit aid monday, like I said. I'll also ask them to consider letting me re apply for need aid. As it is now, I had to submit need access just using my mom's data, cause my dad didn't have the tax info ready, and they are divorced. I think there is a strong case that I looked richer than I am on need aid. My mom is a doctor, but there was a pretty big splitting of their finances during the divorce, and now they maintain two seperate households.
Neither plans on helping me at all either, so, as I said, I think I have a good case for some need grants.

Not if the Government keeps handing out student loan money like candy!

I doubt I'd save anything living in the LA area, but I could at least save a bit of cash, and maybe apply to a few more scholarships than I did.
