[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apply widely In many cases there is no way to anticipate[/quote] That’s what we did. We were surprised in a number of cases both way - more than we thought and less than we thought. And then we played the offers off against each other. [/quote] Does that mean you were able to go to school A and say that school B offered X amount and ask if they could match it? Did it work?[/quote] Yes. We did it. We appealed merit aid at my kid’s first choice and sent a merit aid letter from a school they considered a peer. You aren’t likely to go from 0 to 25k or 20k to 40k. But we got a 5k a year bump, which is 20k total. [/quote]
