[quote=Anonymous]I tried to negotiate for more merit aid this winter when one SLAC came in with $7,000 more in merit aid than the one my DD wanted to go to. No dice, unfortunately. Flash forward to this month when the financial aid packet comes from the pricier school requiring us to pay well over twice as much as our estimated family contribution. So I figured that was the end of that school. But a week later, DD's admissions counselor called asking if we were appealing the aid. Um, I kind of thought that would be a lost cause after my last go round. I did appeal, though, and we ended up with $6,000 more in aid (some merit, some need-based grants). It's still pricier than the other school because its tuition and room and board are higher, so we're still trying to figure it out. [/quote]
