<p>Carleton College is my top choice, but it is one of the only schools that has barely given me any financial aid.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone has been successful in negotiating with the Carleton financial aid office/getting them to re-evaluate their offer. I received 15k-20k merit scholarships at schools such as Macalester, Grinnell, and Kenyon, and this year my parents' income has been cut by around 15k. Does anyone know if Carleton has "matched" another school's offer in the past? Has anyone been successful in having Carleton increase their offer? How should I go about appealing?</p>
