[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Fin aid is up on DC's "dream" college's website, and we're about $8,000 short of what the other, less preferred option costs[/b]. The two colleges are very similar and could almost be considered "rivals" (mid sized Catholic schools) so I'm wondering if it's plausible to go to college A and say, "DC really wants to go here, but college B is cheaper. Can you do anything?" and negotiate in a sense. [b]We got nothing (except loans) from both colleges so this is all merit money we're talking here[/b]. College A actually gave less in merit money than B, but their COA is also less. And should the student do this, or the parent?[/quote] Which is it? Financial aid or merit money? You're contradicting yourself. Anyways, it's worth a try. But if you can afford them both and you simply don't want to pay the higher cost, I doubt they'll give your DC more.[/quote]
