I've got a purely hypothetical question: do you think it's possible that a person with extremely low income [as for US standards - I'm Polish] could get accepted to Princeton ED and NOT get enough financial aid? I know it's binding and you have pay for the college quickly - can it happen that I wouldn't have enough money to do that?

Hi,
As far as I know, princeton will meet full financial need of is admits all by scholarships without any loan. So, don't worry about the money. Another thing is that you are from poland, that's even better.

Even if admitted early, you don't pay anything until after all admitted students have been notified. Also, the one circumstance in which ED is not binding is if your financial aid package is not adequate. So...if they don't give you enough money, then you aren't required to enroll.

Thank you for your help . If it's so, I'll apply ED with no hesitation.
