<p>I received my acceptance letter at the end of March, but some financial documents were missing so I did not receive an award letter at that time. Along with those documents, I sent a tearfelt appeal letter asking for a sufficient award and citing that CMU offered me a full ride, relieving my parents of the financial burden. The problem is, FAFSA overestimated my family's contribution by about $15000 (not surprising) &my financial situation has changed (included in the appeal letter). Does anyone know how generously Stanford will respond to my appeal (if at all)?? </p>
<p>Also, I have to make a decision in 1.5 weeks, so I hope they're prompt!</p>
