<p>I had written a note to BU asking for an appeal for DDs fin aid package. They emailed back that they will look at it...but per their policy, we must accept the present package that is offered. I take it that this means that she must commit to attending BU???? Can anyone offer advice. DD can not go to BU unless more $$ is offered. thanks, momnipotent</p>
<p>email em back and ask them</p>
<p>If you know the number that MUST be arrived at. I would let them know it.
If for example you can afford no more than $5,000/year out of pocket including loans, I would tell them. What do you have to lose?
I think if you're waiting for something greater than the maximum you can afford, you may end up with less and be truly dissatisfied. Just my opinion. GL</p>
