| smith actually gave me the best FA package out of all the LACs i applied to. i seem upper middle class on paper, but smith considered my special circumstances. i was ready to appeal, just in case i had to, because smith was also one of my top choices. i would've been devastated if i couldn't attend smith because of financial issues.
i have a friend who appealed to the FA office. it was a very long and meticulous process, but the FA staff was willing to help. she ended up with 4x more grant money than she originally received. i think if u are willing to spend the time appealing, the FA office will be more than happy to help. |
