What does the honors program get you at Quinnipiac and what are the success rates for appealing the financial aid package. My son admitted into honors and 3+1 bus analytics. But has received more merit money from other comparable schools with same program.
They have been responsive to people I know who appealed, but you need a reason and you need to know what you are comparing.
Do you have some hardship that does not get captured in the forms? Another child who has medical costs or a relative suddenly living with you due to medical reasons?
You can share the merit at the other colleges, but compare the COA to know the impact.
If they gave you $25,000 off of $71,000, but another college they do not see as an equal gave you $40,000 off of $85,000, you are not getting $40,000 from QU.
What does their NPC give you? Run that again based on the numbers.
