I was accepted EA, however, I did not receive a lot of money like I was expecting… My total package is $25,700. However, my dad was recently let go from his job (last week), so do you think I could appeal my financial aid? This is my dream school, and there is no way to afford it now. 
Absolutely. That’s a huge major change in your household finances. Go onto their fin aid website and see what their procedure is to appeal the package. Better yet, call.
