| I'd like to follow up on an earlier post. This is our first time through the college admissions maze and I too would like to know others' experiences with asking for an increase in the merit award. I don't want to make this a bidding war and would certainly only do it for the school that ends up being our #1 choice, but have people had success with it? When *do* you approach admissions? (Or do you? My son will be playing a sport--is it appropriate to have a talk with the coach?) (BTW--we've only heard from OWU so far. $15k/year, which we were thrilled with until I started reading about all of the $20k, $22k, $25k, . . . awards.) |
