<p>I got into Kent, but didn't get nearly as much FA as my parents or I thought I would get. </p>
<p>I guess my main question is, what can I do? Or, is there anything I can do?</p>
<p>call and ask if you can get more. explain your situation, especially if you have a sibbling going to college.</p>
<p>I would also suggest calling the financial aid director. See what they can do. There may be a student with a hefty FA package, who will decide not to attend. You just need to let them know, that you need a little more aid.</p>
<p>Would you suggest that my parents or I call? Or would it matter?</p>
<p>Let me ask you a question. Who do you think will do a better job of explaining your situation? Personally, I would call myself. I say that solely because, my mother is incredibly long-winded and doesn’t know how to get to the point, and my father didn’t even want me to apply to boarding school. </p>
<p>Whom ever you think would make a more compelling argument should be the one to call.</p>
<p>Your parents should call - there is likely an FA appeal process and since these are their finances they should be the ones discussing it.</p>
<p>Your parents should call because they’re going to need answers to financial questions that you can’t answer. The problem is that a lot of families are having to stretch to get into boarding school and that includes giving up many expenses. </p>
<p>It is unlikely the schools will reconsider given tight budgets unless there is some unusual issue with your family’s finances that weren’t reflected in the PFS or school forms.</p>
<p>Yep - tuition is a shocker for sure.</p>
