Hello! This is my first time on these forums so sorry if I’m posting something in the wrong place! I just heard back from the financial aid office of the school I want to attend today (a long story) and the results weren’t good; I was hoping to negotiate. I’m leery of posting details here but if someone here has experience (or is willing to point me in the direction of someone who does), I’d really appreciate being able to pm with them! Thanks!
Is the aid need based? Then you can ask them if they could review your application. Maybe some information wasn’t recorded correctly.
Is the aid merit based? Do you have a better merit based offer from a college or university that is clearly a peer institution? Then you can ask if they would reconsider based on the other offer.
