Got 3 fin aid letters in the mail today and i feel like a first-grader attempting calculus.
So specifically, one school's COA (from last year, i found it on the website) is roughly 46K. My fin aid "award" says they're only giving me 22,533. (breakdown: 8500 federal subsidized, 12,000 federal unsub, 2033 "fed add'l unsub loan")...
wtf?
School #2: COA for last year is ~67K, award = 42,722
School #3: COA (as given with award letter) ~77K, award = 47,922 (this includes an institutional loan & scholarship of 5200 so loan-wise it's the same amount as school #2...)
alright guys someone please tell me what i'm missing...
(side note: my FAFSA says my EFC is 10K... but all of these are way more than a 10K difference)
