[quote=Anonymous]I heard from a parent that his friend's daughter was offered a package at her second choice SLAC (merit aid), and went to her first choice SLAC and asked if they could match the package. They did, and his friend's DD went to that school. This was in the midwest, two fairly competitive schools. Our guidance counselor said you can negotiate with schools, but your child has to be in demand. I would wait until you get more acceptances, OP, and then go in and ask for more $$ with an acceptance letter with a higher $$ offer attached to it. Otherwise, the first school has no incentive to give you any more $$. Best of luck, OP. It's tough these days for those of us in the doughnut hole -- not eligible for FA, but can't pay those high tuition bills colleges charge, especially privates and OOS publics. [/quote]
