^^^When I was choosing between Hampshire College and Georgetown, I really really hoped Hampshire could match Georgetown's aid.
They were virtually identical, except GU had a special grant for DC residents that replaced my need for work-study. Hampshire didn't/couldn't cough up the 5 Gs.... Georgetown it was.
I wouldn't trade it for anything, but I'll always wonder.
ETA: GU didn't really have merit-based aid, but did have these super-secret grants that the needy could use to replace loans and work-study with grants.
