Hofstra and Adelphi

<p>Hofstra gave me 26k (after an appeal)
Adelphi gave me 27.5k</p>

<p>(this is all merit aid, I'm ineligible for any financial aid)</p>

<p>Adelphi covered full tuition, for Hofstra I'd still be short 6k.</p>

<p>Are these universities similarly ranked enough to garner more merit aid from Hofstra? I am looking for as much as I can get. I already appealed at Hofstra and received 3k more, but I didn't bring up Adelphi's offering.</p>

<p>I got the $19,000 presidential scholarship, but I am still a little short. Can you tell me how to appeal.</p>
