I am a journalist working on a story for a national women’s magazine, and I am interested in interviewing women for a series of articles on student debt. (College Confidential Senior Advisor Sally Rubenstone has allowed me to make this post).
* Did your financial aid letter lead you to believe you were getting more grant/scholarship aid than you actually received, forcing you to take out more loans than you had intended?
*Was your EFC miscalculated, again forcing you into more loans than you actually needed?
*Did you choose a college because it offered generous aid, but then took it away in subsequent years?
* Were you confused by your loan counseling, and actually had no idea what you would/will owe after graduation?
If you can answer yes to one or more of these questions, or have other stories about financial aid office mix-ups or mistakes, please post below or pm me. I would love to speak with you. I prefer using real names but will figure out a work-around for those who require/desire anonymity.
Hope to speak with some of you soon.
Best,
Jennifer Wolff Perrine
