Being that these were the most helpful responses I could afford to give you, that is, by definition, exactly what I was being. I stated right in the beginning that I did not know any specifics so you could disregard the answer and move on with your life if you felt any subsequent text would be a waste of your time. What I do know, as a regular on this forum, is that there are only four of us that have been actively posting for the past year on this side of the fence, two of which have been inactive for the most part for some time now. With this in mind, you are now hoping that the one other poster not only attended one of those schools (possible, albeit highly unlikely) and can tell you the exact cost of tuition for you (in state? out of state) in 2016. Slim chance. In addition, assuming this other poster went to one of these schools, you are then relying on them to have had applied for all financial aid, or at least, have been intimately familiar with the exact amount of financial aid available, the total amount awarded, and the amount of people that WILL apply in 2016. Once gain, slim chance. So, being that the answers to these questions seemed unlikely to be satisfied in an exact fashion on this forum, I decided to try to provide some information on available resources (social worker), because not everybody is aware of what's available (not to be condescending). Having said all of that, you could have saved yourself the time (and my ability to "waste" it) by simply calling both schools and getting the most accurate information available right from the source. There is nothing wrong with also posting these questions on a forum such as this to supplement with subjective information, but to get upset when such information does not meet your expectations is unnecessary. Have a nice day! 😀
