My fin aid package at my dream school is as follows: $20k in merit aid, $9400 in grants, $2000 in federal work-study, and $5500 in federal loans. Total cost of attendance is ~$66k, so we'd be paying a little over $35k (counting the loans) out of pocket, which is equal to our EFC as calculated by the FAFSA.
My family income is about $130k. Would it be ridiculous and unfeasible to attend this school? I think my parents have about 35k saved up, but obviously that's only a drop in the four-year bucket. Is there a way to make this work or should I go with other schools that I don't like as much, but are way more affordable?
