Did they send an email to check the portal?
Anyone applied for BA/BS + MD (Medicine) program
No email… just checked the portal
My son got in, but disappointed in the merit - it’s the highest price school he applied to and the merit was less than almost all of the other schools he got into so far
does anyone know if you can ask for a little more money?
You can always try.

@BobMahloonga No email. I saw someone said that decisions were out and I checked the portal, and there it was
@natalie2 … financial aid appeals are rarely successful. I spoke directly with the dean of LeBow last year and plead my case for my child… school #2 was offering far more merit $ than Drexel and had similar reputation, etc. My appeal was denied. About the only thing that will get a re-review is a change in status (job loss, change in marital status, etc). My kid chose Drexel over school#2 and has done very well there.
Oh, and my second child got her acceptance earlier today.
Son accepted.

More then we thought we would get. (EFC was 19,000)
@mommy43 - What is EFC?
The estimated financial contribution I think? Idk
@BobMahloonga Yes it is the Estimated Family Contribution from the FAFSA. Then they also look at your CSS profile. The nice thing about Drexel is the package they give you is good for all future years. Next year we have three in college. The year after that, our EFC will soar. Not sure if he will end up at Drexel, but it puts it in play.
Daughter accepted.

My D was accepted with $13K in merit. She had 3.7 weighted GPA and 1160 on SAT. She is not real happy about it because that still puts COA in the $55K range which is just too expensive.
