[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. What is involved in appealing an aid offer. When would one do that and how?[/quote] I do not know anyone in real life who did this with any success. I have only seen "success" stories on the anonymous internet. [/quote] I am an anonymous Internet stranger in the doughnut hole but recently successfully negotiated more merit aid for my child. We presented other scholarship offers that were better and the school actually exceeded them. Although my child is high stats, we purposely did not look at extremely competitive schools because of the unlikelihood of merit aid. With multiple kids, one already in college, and a $250k HHI, there is no way we could be full pay at $70,000 a year schools. My child will be going to a private smaller college for much less $ than in state. This was the perfect one for my child although it probably would not rate well with the DCUM crowd[/quote]
