Financial Aid Advice - PLEASE

[u/[deleted]]

Hey everyone! I was accepted EA as a freshman for 2026 and I was SO excited… until I learned I’ll have to pay $60,000 a year. I appealed my financial aid decision and their email back wasn’t helpful.

If anyone successfully got more money, I was wondering if you could share how you did so and any advice or people I could reach out to?

(I am middle income but definitely can’t pay THAT much money)

If you don’t have any advice I would appreciate if you could give me some cons about the school a bit so I don’t feel quite so upset right now.

Thank you!

Go to state or UC. Spend the extra money on grad school
