I guess I passed the first few screening stages at MIT. They wanted to setup an interview and all that. My father had just gotten a programming job so suddenly, on paper, we were far too high income to qualify for any aid. I never bothered to schedule the interview. I don't know if it worked out for the best or not but it seems insane that university is so money driven here in the US.
