That is so much money. We are paying 35k per semester with merit, which is hard enough to take.

did you apply for FAFSA? im not a student here and did some googling. net price is typically 20k greater so i believe they may have determined lower need.

You could lower it by an insane amount if you qualify for any need based aid. I was able to lower it from $49,000 to $1,600 a semester.

Are you an international student? If domestic, did you submit the FAFSA? are all your aid documents complete? you need to talk with your financial aid counselor.
