<p>Some people like to gamble. I think this is silly advice… if you apply to a reachy college where you can’t afford to pay the full cost and then hope they will toss some money at you after the fact is taking a risk and gamble. If they don’t honor the late request for financial help then you wasted an application (and an acceptance). There are much better strategies for getting tuition discounts than this one. </p>
