<p>and my parents will not be able to pay the amount set:</p>
<p>has anyone appealed there letter of financial aid...</p>
<p>We probably will. 0 doesn't seem like enough, honestly.</p>
<p>0 being the number u have to pay, or the amount of aid u received?
had anyones appeal been approved?</p>
<p>That's what we're getting. We're going to be paying quite a bit more than that.</p>
<p>Unlessss.......</p>
<p>No, that won't work. Damn.</p>
<p>bumppppp anyone appeal and get it approved</p>
<p>Tranorix - I'm in the same situation as you.</p>
<p>appeals are hard - i know plenty of people who have tried and failed. sorry. unless your parent's taxes will be very different in 2004 from 2003, it'll be hard.</p>
<p>How should I appeal to them? by phone call or letter?</p>
<p>My dad appealed via email I believe. At the time he was out of a job but that wasn't reflected in his tax forms (which were based on the previous year's earnings) so Cornell threw an extra $6000 in grants our way. I think you have to have a valid reason.</p>
<p>I still haven't received my financial aid package... should I call them?</p>
