College Discussion - View Single Post - Leveraging Midwest LAC merit aid on the East Coast?

Palidad · 02-28-2006, 04:01 PM

Our S (last of two) received generous merit-based discounts of $15k and $14k from two midwest LACs. How best to go about seeing if two somewhat other eastern LACs will throw a financial bone to us (we have an older D at a full tariff LAC).

One of the eastern targets offered a straight admission...the other is pending. No way can we qualify for true financial aid, whiuch I guess is just good news. we just would prefer not to pay $80k for two years and another $40k for two more.

Email to Finance office with copies of the letters following by mail? Wait for the final acceptance (My! Aren't WE optimistic!?!?).

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
