Matching financial aid package from another school

Has anyone had any luck getting Middlebury to match an aid package from another school? I just faxed a letter requesting a review of my D’s award from Midd, along with an award letter from a peer school. The family contribution was about $5000 different, plus Midd’s contained a Perkins loan. Wondering if anyone else succeeded in the past. Thanks

What was the peer school?

In looking through your posts, I’m assuming it was Swarthmore. If so, you may have some leverage.

Yes, it is Swarthmore

I have the same question and situation. Please let me know how it turns out. The family contribution from Amherst contribution was also $5k less plus $3k was expected in loans - really an $8k difference. We’re looking at making the same request.

@rmsdad Middlebury increased grant by $3000, still $6000 more than Swarthmore when you factor in Perkins Loan. $3000 more than Bowdoin due to Perkins loan. Good luck with your request.
