<p>I wrote earlier this week that I was worried that by asking for more $$ I was jeopardizing the generous aid we already got -- and I'm happy to say -- that we received an extra 3K per year on the basis of the letter that I sent.</p>
<p>I'm so excited. My daughter was already going to attend the school - it just would have been a tougher stretch for all of us ... This is such a nice gift -- I can hardly contain myself.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone still waiting.</p>

<p>rachelfran, if possible, can you please share what you wrote? I’m in the process of appealing myself.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>That’s great. Gives hope to a lot of us struggling to put together finances.</p>
<p>My letter was very personal… discussing the applicants sibling (diagnosed w/autism) and the applicants need to transfer high schools midway due to personal reasons and how that affected her grades … all aid is need based. </p>
<p>It’s weird because I had a premonition this morning that the letter would come and that it would be 3K. I emailed the fin. aid office on Monday and she told me it was in the mail so I knew it would come today or tomorrow – and the school goes by quarters instead of semesters so the aid has been listed in three columns so in my mind I saw three $1000’s and that’s exactly what we got!
