<p>I'm from New York City, so I'd have to pay a pretty penny. I have a 5k/year scholarship so I'd have to pay around 45k/year. (5k is pretty skimpy... & I have the grades for a good scholarship too.) I'd be in debt 100k by the end of the four years. Has anyone successfully appealed their financial aid package? </p>
<p>We were wondering the same? Do you know how to go about it appealing a scholarship decision or lack there of.</p>
<p>I spoke to admissions after my S was admitted OOS with a 4.0 in a challenging curriculum, 9/200 class rank and a 1250 M/V SAT. I was told by admissions that the cut off for merit aid awards was either 3.5 or 3.7 and a M/V SAT of 1350. My S’s friend had a lower GPA, higher class rank but higher SAT’s. </p>
<p>sorry, never finished my sentence- his friend had lower GPA, higher class rank but higher SATs and got $12,000 while we got nothing.</p>
<p>I think UCONN prefers SAT score to GPA and class rank. </p>
<p>Sadly most schools do.</p>
