Oberlin tailing just behind.

Do everything you can to get the most aid from the school you want. Explain
to them in the letter you can't go if you don't get more help. If I remember
right, you're grades were pretty high and your scores were too. If you
already have a letter back from them, they are REALLY interested in you (if
they work like other schools I know. The first people notified are usually
the ones they Really Want or Really Don't Want).
But don't you go into debt to get an education. Not with your skill.
A suggestion -- go to the FA website at my college, and check out the Other
Links section.
that's the main page, the FA page links through there. There will be links
to scholarship searches on the web. USE THEM :) Apply for every scholarship
you can. A thousand here and five hundred there adds up.
