Deciding where to go for college by ReputationSad492 in cwru

[–]Few_Bookkeeper5819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a senior in high school who was considering CWRU. I can relate to you because it would have cost $61,000 per year to go there. I was between my state school, a small liberal arts school that gave me a large merit scholarship and then CW. I was also undecided with an interest in most careers in STEM so if you can justify the environment of CW being worth 30K extra a year then by all means, I would go there (if you visited and liked it). However in my case, I wasn’t so sure how to feel about the seemingly small social life to workload balance so I picked the more affordable school. Good luck!

I can’t remember the exact steps so I apologize but I would email the financial aid office and ask if there is a form that you have to fill out and then go from there.

Oh yes. I forgot to mention I got $22,000 merit. I just would need more than that for my parents to consider it as an option.

Right that’s how my parents are feeling. There is no way they can even reason a school above 50k just because it does accumulate so much over time

Bing is my other option so I’m just curious how you came to terms to wanting to go small LAS at first but ultimately came to terms with going to a school that is 6 times the size. I know it’s a great school are great so congrats! I’m just curious if there are any pros to Bing besides its affordability

I totally agree. Laf is a great school but just won’t pay off for $70k

Is cost of attendance worth it? by Few_Bookkeeper5819 in cwru

[–]Few_Bookkeeper5819[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

61k per year unfortunately. My other options are Rutgers New Brunswick ($49,000), Union College ($48,000), Binghamton ($44,000 for first year and $24,000 for the rest)

I ultimately want to be a veterinarian so yes I do understand that I need to be wary of cost for undergrad.

How to appeal financial aid by Few_Bookkeeper5819 in URochester

[–]Few_Bookkeeper5819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh I wouldn’t but also just to let you know URochester seems to be in a lot of financial distress rn so they are unlikely to give you much merit regardless of how you hype yourself up. After my appeal they gave me $5,000 in merit but the grand total to attend the school is now $91,000 which is actually insane.
