<p>I am an international applicant who got accepted to a couple of colleges, X and Y. I have received financial aid from both colleges, but there is a difference between the two awards.</p>
<p>College X offered me a very good finaid package, but I would have liked to attend college Y if I had received a similar financial aid award. Unfortunately, college Y's final costs (after the four years) will be greater than those of College X (as you might have noticed, finaid is very important for me).</p>
<p>My question is what can I do to improve my finaid package from College Y? How exactly do I need to make an appeal? Can anyone give some web resources?</p>
<p>Also, I am expecting my family's expenses to rise sharply starting next year because of a reson I was not aware of when I applied for financial aid, and thus did not mention it in my application.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for any input.</p>
