I was accepted this weekend (yay!), and I received a wonderful financial aid offer. I’m thinking that with the unsub Stafford, Pell Grant and Perkins, I will be able to cover most/all of the remaining balance. However, if this isn’t the case, is there any leeway to have my case reevaluated? My parents do not have the disposable income laying around to put forward that kind of cash and I’m not sure private loans are an option.
You can ask for them to re-review your info. It can’t hurt to ask, and they won’t rescind their offer. However, it isn’t very likely more money will turn up, as it is need based, and there are plenty of others who would be happy to have your spot.
Congrats!
