The other schools offering need based still gave like 50k more. I am so confused about how Pitt determined this!
Did anyone receive any grants or subsidized? Really interested to know if they offer anything other than unsubsidized or grad plus loans. I only got those two and I am really disappointed.
I think that just means you did not qualify for any aid. I think people who do qualify for aid get need based grants.
not that it makes things better but i think it's possible that how they calculate your eligibility isn't what's different between schools (at least not drastically), it's the school's availability of funds ('availability of funds' is one of the items they list under how awards are made). i got a very small need based scholarship for Pitt and a much larger one at a different school and that other school has a much larger endowment.
