help a transfer

<p>I applied as a transfer to Carleton and was overjoyed to find that I am accepted. My problem lies in the fact that the school determined that I do not qualify for financial aid. After recent events though, my parents think otherwise and say they will only pay 30k, twice what my current state school costs. </p>

<p>Is there anything I can do to get the finaid office to reconsider? Will pleading or arguing do anything to help my case? I'm in a real need of advice because if they give me no help, there's no way I can attend. Thanks for any help</p>

<p>you could tell them what your current college is giving you in aid..</p>

<p>You can always contact the financial aid office to discuss your situation. Be sure to explain what the "recent events" are, and how they will impact your parents' income.</p>

<p>I agree with fireflyscout: contact fin. aid and explain the "recent events." A change in circumstances often means a change in fin. aid--more or less depending on such things as a parent losing a job or getting a better-paying one. Good luck!</p>

<p>i applied as a transfer too. But I haven't received any notification yet. Crixx,did you get email notification or mailing one?</p>

<p>do write to them- i worte to the finaid office regarding an increase in finaid and they didn't reply- so i thought they had ignored my request until i got a letter giving me a federal subsidized loan for the amount i had requested.</p>

<p>No harm in trying....................</p>

I received my letter through snail mail on the 10th. Supposedly they've made they're decisions for transfers already, maybe you should try calling?</p>
