<p>Right Now, I would have to pay 39k for Penn, and my parents told me I need to bring it down to 25k. Is there any chance Penn could bring it down this low for me? Is there any financial info I should bring when I visit them next week to convince them? Unfortunately, our family’s financial situation has not changed that much for 2004…Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>i have to pay the same for penn, and my parents tried to do a financial reevaluation to see if we could get any more money. we didnt. end of story</p>
<p>so that kinda sucks, but ive heard that schools offer you more money each year, so im hoping thats true...otherwise ill be living in debt for the rest of my life</p>
<p>LoserKev, unless you have a better offer from another school (especially an Ivy) it is unlikely they'll change it.</p>
<p>cpt oats, in my family's experience what you said is not true.</p>
<p>Every year your financial aid gets WORSE, even if your parents' income doesn't change at all. Makes sense, they want to attract you with the best first. After that you're committed.</p>
<p>yea...that's why the loan limit on your package increases YEAR BY YEAR.</p>
<p>awh damnit, that sucks</p>
