<p>i feel my ED financial package clearly did not meet 100% need as stated by penn. this is the only thing that hinders me from attending the school. is there any other alternatives? any room for negotiation? what should I do?</p>
<p>When I visited I remember the speaker saying that you can negotiate the financial aid package when you're an ED applicant. He said to write a letter but you might want to try calling them about it.</p>
<p>really?! i hope this is true...should i negotiate asap...or after the january 6 deadline....or after the final real package???</p>
<p>ASAP no doubt</p>
<p>Definitely negotiate, and do it as soon as possible. I would also contact the individual school you were admitted to, because they might also have aid that they can allocate to you.</p>
<p>^isn't there only one financial aid office</p>
