negotiation for more aid?

<p>I qualified for the DeWitt and Nat'l merit scholarships, but I still can't afford Macalester. The need-based money wasn't enough either. Is negotiating for more aid possible, or completely ridiculous? I really want to go to their school, but moneywise, it's not looking that great.</p>

<p>I'm wondering the same thing, so if anyone could answer this question, particularly students who've done this and succeeded, that would be grand!</p>
