Additional aid: Do those who ask, receive it?

<p>For those who requested additional financial aid, or a reevaluation, did you get more money? </p>

<p>Does completing "round two" of the financial aid process generally result in more money? Generally not?</p>

<p>If you don't ask, you definitely won't get it. It depends on the school. we asked for more $$ said school definitely was first choice requested a financial review, (sent in aid package from williams) and got more $$</p>

<p>not yet, but still trying...</p>

<p>Definitely worth trying! I've asked for a re-evaluation and I'm waiting on a decision. Even if the answer is no, at least I know I gave it my best shot!</p>

<p>How should I ask? By phone, or write an email?</p>

<p>By phone, in my opinion. Have your parents call, and see the other threads addressing the "how do I ask for more money" issue.</p>

<p>I agree with raven001, its probably best to have your parents call. </p>

<p>In our particular case, my mom made an appointment w/the FA office on the day I was visiting the school. She had the opportunity to personally present our situation, and she said the FA officer was very friendly and helpful. </p>

<p>By no means does this doesn't mean that the final decision will be any different than if you discuss it by phone, but if distance/timing is not a factor, I don't think a personal meeting would hurt.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>we had our financial advisor deal with it. I think they wrote/are writing a letter or called/are calling them. They didn't call us back to see if we got more money or not. I'll post this week when we hear back</p>
