Comparing aid for other schools?

<p>If one school gives me better financial aid, but I want to attend the other school, how would I show the other school the financial aid package to convince them to give me more? I don't know how exactly to phrase this, but I think you guys get the point. :) Email? Fax? Call them?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would suggest having one of your parents call the Financial Aid office and ask them to "reevaluate" your package (don't use the term negotiate or bargain). They can verbally detail the amount of aid you got elsewhere, but stress how much you could contribute to this particular school if you joined their community...Good luck.</p>
