Sorry I delayed until so late, but I was out of the country for two weeks and wanted to see my financial aid letter first ($68,642.00!). I'll be withdrawing from Tulane tomorrow, and hope one of you gets some great news soon!
I know attending Tulane would be an absolutely fantastic experience, and I'm so jealous of those of you attending! If only we could attend more than one school - perhaps the first two years at one, and then third and fourth years at two others. I think the camaraderie, community service focus and top-notch clinical opportunities are exceptional at Tulane. Ah, and then there's N'awlins.... 😀
EDIT: Someone just emailed asking me for a breakdown of the fin aid I received. Here's the total for the year:
$8,500 - Fed Sub Stafford
$32,000 - Fed Unsub Stafford
$28,142 - Supplemental Loan Eligibility (I assume this is like GradPlus or a certified loan)
TOTAL: $68,642
The breakdown is:
$47,234 - Tuition/Fees
$13,030 - Housing/Meals
$1,500 - Books/Supplies
$3,016 - Transportation
$3,862 - Personal Expenses
TOTAL: $68,642
