getting more financial aid?

<p>i was accepted at u of rochester and given $6000 in a merit scholarship. right now rochester has become my top choice school even though i never visited or interviewed. i plan on flying up this friday and im gonna ask the admissions people if theres any other aid available. i didnt receive any need based aid and cant really afford to go to the school without any other aid.</p>

<p>has this worked for anyone else? anyone know the right way to get more money? i figured asking in person would be better than sending them a letter.</p>

<p>asking probably isn't going to help much. Competition will. Do you have offers from other schools they see themselves as competing against?</p>
