| Will the financial aid office reconsider your aid award in light of other colleges' financial aid offers (i.e. from the Ivies)? There's a large, significant difference between MIT and a few of my other schools. Would this "qualify" my MIT finaid to be re-reviewed? Or am I stuck unless I have another compelling reason to go through the appeals process (there is another personal family reason, but would probably not result in a sizeable enough change). Initially, I was about to cross MIT off my list because of the financial difference, but after CPW, MIT has jumped up and I'm considering it again...and thus am worried about the financial aid situation once again. I don't know; I don't feel very comfortable asking for more money?? But I want to?? .... |
