Oberlin has waitlisted him and he is crushed. The assumption is that if he didn't get into Northwestern or Oberlin, there's no way Brown will happen. My heart is hurting for him. His sister got her dream school. He is going to accept his spot on the wait list, but I told him we have to proceed with decisions as if it was a rejection and then deal with the change if it changes.
U of M's only scholarship money was the Michigan Competitive Scholarship which he'll get at any Michigan college. The rest was U of M grants. Kzoo gave him a decent scholarship- $84K over 4 years if he keeps a 2.5. There was a Perkins loan, a Federal direct subsidized loan, and work study in that package with $11K for me to cover.
U of M gave money in grants, plus the typical Federal direct subsidized loan and also work study. It leaves $7K for me to pay, but like I said, if our financial situation changes, those grants change too.
I really wanted him to escape this awful state of no opportunity. I'm regretting not making him apply more places. Big time regrets about that.
