So I've seen a lot of people mention that they will wait until financial aid packages come out to make any decisions on which school to attend. Obviously this makes sense to me, but I was wondering how much a student typically gets in financial aid?? I mean, if it goes off of FAFSA (which we fill out w/o our parents info on it) then arent we all basically the same level of dirt poor?? What are the packages based off of then? Do you have to apply for scholarships? or is aid just rewarded after the school looks at your FAFSA? I am kind of under the impression that I wont get anything since im just a typical white male with no harship in my background. I really dont know anything about how this works and just want some info. Thanks
