<p>I've spoken two times with Dean Gentile on the phone and tried to made her see.....</p>
<p>It's just unfair. My parents have four children to support and yet they will only count two, because my older sisters have finished their graduate studies. Apparently, a four-year post-graduate course in Paris doesn't seem expensive to them.... </p>
<p>It's more stuff like that ,too. Dean Gentile said she can't treat anyone in a favourable way..... I wonder, doesn't Amherst use to give kind of merit-based fin. aid to those who don't qualify for need-based, like other Colleges do?</p>
