<p>so if any1 else has experienced the same thing, let me know</p>
<p>i have received financial aid packages from both dartmouth and northwestern. from my past experiences, i have heard that northwestern is much more stingy with money while, as an ivy league school that meets 100% of demonstrated need, dartmouth would give more money.</p>
<p>however, after i received packages from both schools, i am currently getting 30% more money from northwestern than dartmouth, which is a pretty significant amount...</p>
<p>is there any way to have dartmouth match the money i get at northwestern or any other school? i mean this disparity doesnt really make any sense to me...</p>
<p>fill out the form and request for a financial review</p>

<p>That’s funny, Dartmouth gave me FAR more money than NW…maybe fin aid decisions are even more random than admissions decisions (that of course is a scary thought that wouldn’t make any sense!)</p>
<p>6 years ago, in the same position as OP, we requested a review - turns out that we incorrectly characterized an asset as the student’s rather than the parents’ on the College Profile Can’t promise a good result, but D, after reviewing, advised us of our error on the form and offered a revised package that bested NW’s. For our student, D was a clear first choice - if it is for you, make that known as well.</p>
<p>really?! thats so weird!!</p>
<p>if i am given enough money i would attend dartmouth for sure :)</p>
<p>it’s interesting that northwestern gave you guys both less money than dartmouth. northwestern is giving me significantly more money. perhaps dartmouth made a mistake</p>
<p>should i contact the financial aid office? if so, what should i say??</p>
<p>At least you got something. I got absolutely nothing.</p>
